I just can\u2019t come up with anything worth writing. I have things in my head and then I think, no&#8230;no one wants to hear this. So with tomorrow being Thanksgiving, I decided to do a post about what I am thankful for right now.<\/p>\n<p>I am thankful for my family, my daughters, my grandchildren, my nieces and cousins. I am blessed to still have some family and I love and treasure every moment I have with them. We never know when life will throw us a curve ball and we won\u2019t have these people, so spend time with them, love them, and tell them you love them.<\/p>\n<p>I am thankful for my friends. I can\u2019t say enough about the wonderful people in my life who I call my friends. They are really more like family to me, that is how much I care about them. They have gotten me through the darkest days of my life and are still by my side. I\u2019m not sure it is easy to be my friend, so believe me when I say these people deserve some kind of award.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201dWhen you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.\u201d ~ Tecumseh<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>I am thankful for my health. I am thankful that I can get up every morning and walk down the stairs. I know there are people out there that can not do that and I don\u2019t take it lightly that I can. I try to stay healthy and exercise. I even eat pretty healthy for the most part. But if some ice cream happens to find its way into the freezer and I eat it, I don\u2019t let it make me feel guilty. Much like what I posted earlier&#8230;we dont know how long we have on this earth and I don\u2019t want to die one morning knowing I deprived myself of ice cream the night before.<\/p>\n<p>I am thankful for each and every day I wake up. I give thanks the first thing every morning that I am blessed to wake up another day.<\/p>\n<p>I am thankful that for the first time in like 20 years I don\u2019t have to work Black Friday&#8230;in retail! You dont know how thankful I am for this. I used to love working that day, it was so busy the time passed very quickly and people were nice. That is no longer the case. Most people are in such a hurry and are not very nice to the people that wait on them. So, to all of you in retail&#8230;.may the gods of Black Friday be with you!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201dStrive to find things to be thankful for, and just look for the good in who you are!\u201d~ Bethany Hamilton<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>I am thankful for the beauty of nature. I love looking at the sky and finding things in the clouds that make me happy. My grandchildren love doing this as well and I love that they do. Sometimes they make fun of me since they are getting older but then one will say, \u201chey look, that cloud looks like a dinosaur.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I am thankful for coffee! It gets me going and helps me cope&#8230; the same can be said for wine! And&#8230;ice cream!<\/p>\n<p>I am thankful for the days when I walk into another room and remember why I walked in there. Believe me when I say these day are few and far between!<\/p>\n<p>I am thankful for people who make me laugh! Laughing out loud until I cry is one of my favorite things and I am grateful for the people who make me do that!<\/p>\n<p>And finally I am grateful for the people who read my blog and comment! And tell me they miss my posts. Thank you all!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201dIn everyone\u2019s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.
