I'm thankful

for individuality.

for chaos and calm.

for food and good company.

for examples of drive and persevering until a goal is reached.

for sincerity of spirit and intelligence of mind.

for happiness and heritage.

for gumption and strength.

for the blessing of watching him grow when tests said he would never make it to birth.

for pleasure in mundane and extraordinary things alike.

for the beauty surrounding me.

for sunsets and reaching new heights.

for grandparents. for wisdom. for fun.

for creativity and discovery.

for lost teeth and growing up.

for silly times with my perfect girl.

for my Mama - my confidante, my advisor, and my most trusted friend.

for lessons in love, friendship and family.

for faith and life.

for discovering myself.
