Blessed

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, it's a great opportunity to reflect over the many blessings I have in my life.

1) That I have a personal relationship with Christ. That I can talk to Him like he's sitting at Starbucks with me, and I know He hears me. Even if something doesn't happen or change, I know that He is working in my life. That He is in complete control, and I am hopelessly and utterly lost without Him guiding me.

2) I'm married to my best friend. I found the love of my life early, and while everyday isn't rosy or peaches and cream (hello, it's marriage! it's not suppose to be rosy every stinkin' day.) I know that he loves me for me. I am so blessed to have someone who cares for me and encourages me every day.

3) My family! I adore my parents and brother. They make me smile and scratch my head all at the same time. (hello, it's your family! They are not suppose to make sense every stinkin' day.) I also have amazing in-laws. I'm lucky to be loved by so many people. They are my friends as well as my family.

4) My friends are amazing. I know that at the sound of their cell phone, they'd drop everything for me. They post blog comments for me to get excited about, meet me at Mesa Rosa, embark on weird Austin festivals with me, and chat with me about nothing on the phone. I'm lucky to have such loyal and fun friends.

5) Mopac!!!! I'm so blessed to have such a sweetie pie to greet me with a wagging tail everyday. I love, love, love her.

6) My job. I'm thankful to have a job in which I enjoy (most days;) in this economy.

7) My education. Master's degree in 3 weeks! Whoo hooo!

8) My health. And amazing doctors to help get my hormones right on track. Randy appreciates this too;)

9) Common Sense. I think this is overlooked in today's society.

10) A sense of humor. It's important to be able to laugh at yourself and not take life so seriously. Randy helps me with this one for sure!

Hope you have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving!
