Gratitude
Today while me and my little peanut were giggling about how dirty we were (playing in the mud, again) it kinda dawned on me how truly changed my life is. In a much deeper, and broader sense, this little entity has provided me with growth, faith, laughter and a love I could not have imagined. She pushes me to be better, strive farther, dance everyday, and laugh deep.
It is so easy to get lost in our everyday lives, and forget to be thankful for both BIG and the little things in it. With school, jobs, bills, chores, eating, playing, sleep and worries, gratitude can be forgotten.
I am grateful for the life I am living, and all of the opportunities that I have been given, even though I don't always act that way. Sometimes I can be found focusing more on what I don't have. That is a habit I am trying to break.
I believe there are many people in our lives who enter them, and leave us forever changed. Sometimes the changes aren't always evident, and sometimes the changes are HUGe. And we cannot remember the WE we were prior to their arrival.
Today I am taking a moment to be thankful to those who have helped to shape the woman I am today. And at the top of that list, well.... if a picture is worth a thousand words....
What are you grateful for today?

I also try to find something each day to be grateful for. For those of us who've had a hard road to travel, it begins with just looking at one small thing each day ... perhaps the food on your plate, or the roof over your head. By looking at the small things we take for granted so often, each day, our attitude changes to include an even bigger list of things we know we are Blessed with.
Have a beautiful Day!! :D

I am grateful for the inspiration and kindness that I get from my blog friends (this is a perfect example) and for the love and support I get from my family.
I'm thankful for my new friend, Dee! I'm also thankful for all my old friends, and of course... family. :)
i'm thankful for my devoted husband and my unborn son, who has already given me so much more than i ever dreamed possible.

Legacy, that is incredibly kind of you, although I think I am the lucky one!! Ah the teenage years, they seem so far away from me, although I know they will sneak up on me, lol!!
After B comes C, I love that your mom has been such a positive influence on you, I hope to be the same on my little peanut :)
I'm grateful to have a job, after being unemplyed for entirely too long.
Cheers,
