"I love thee to the depth and breadth and height, my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight, for the ends of being and ideal grace...I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death."
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Thankful

As Thanksgiving is approaching, I've decided to focus on the things I'm thankful for.

* My husband. He's a wonderful man that puts up with me when I'm crazy. I've never met anyone more patient than him. He has so many traits that I admire; I often find myself thinking, "Man, I wish I were more like him." He's level-headed. Thinks before he speaks.
He's extremely dedicated and an incredibly hard worker. He rarely complains. About anything. He's one of the most positive people I know. He's the best husband to me and father to Hudson that we could ever ask for and we both love him so much.

*My son. What an amazing blessing! He's pure joy. It's so exciting to see more and more of his personality every day. I can't put into words how much love I have for that little man.

*My family. The best parents, brothers, nephews, nieces, and in-laws in the world. Seriously. In the world.

*My friends. Period. I love all of you. You know who you are.

*My critters. Well, Morgan, at least. Alright, alright. O.J. too.

*My house. I love our house. I love its location. I love our yard where Morgan runs and Hudson soon will. I love our hammock and our shed and our patio. I love my new bathroom and I love my crooked walls. I even love the cracks in them. There are stories in there.
My house was here long before the noisy airport. My house was here long before the ugly office building at the end of the street. It's an interesting experience, trying to sell your house. The "issues" potential buyers have with it...those are the same reasons you remember you love it.
And you don't want to leave.

*Mine and my family's health. You never know when it can change.

*The essentials. Roof, food and water. There are people that struggle with even those.
We have everything we need and we even have a little more. So. Thankful.
