Give Thanks

I'm exhausted.  Work has been taking a lot out of me.  Don't get me wrong, I'm very thankful that I am employed and am enjoying my role.  However, the past several days have really taken a lot out of me... so to stay positive I must remind of myself of things I should be thankful for.  Thus, I give thanks for the following (in no particular order):

• My healthy, happy, beautiful son and his equally healthy, happy and handsome father. 
• My wonderful job and the exciting opportunity that I have to be part of a new market. 
• My paycheck and benefits that come with said job. 
• The faith and trust that my boss, co-workers and clients put in me each day.
• The "me time" I have in the car, baby-free, while I drive to and from the office/clients/home. 
• The kind and fabulous woman who is currently caring for my child while I am at work.
• My parents, and parents-in-law, who are still alive, healthy, strong and an active part of my son's life. 
• Our wonderful friends and family.
• Our beautiful home.
• Our dependable vehicles - although they're old with MANY miles on them, they're paid for and still run well (knock on wood!) 
• My health, as well as the health of my husband and child. 
• My daughter, who is resting in peace in heaven, but still holds a special place in my heart and life. 
• The especially gorgeous weather that we've been experiencing lately. 
• All of the love and support that we are surrounded with every day. 
• My new perfume - I love it and it makes me feel special when I wear it. 
• My clothes - that finally fit me now that I'm down to my pre-pregnancy weight (whoo hooo!!!)  
• My cell phone, that keeps me in touch with my friends and family.
• Facebook, which keeps me in touch with my friends and family. 
• My bed.... which I really should crawl into now to get a good night's sleep....
