This thanksgiving holiday I have been overwhelmed with gratitude. I found myself counting my blessings on my run this morning. Confession: It was a distraction strategy up a long hill, but once I reached the top they just kept running through my head. So here's just a few I'd like to share with you...
1. My wonderful husband. He consistently goes above and beyond for me and those around him. (He even put up with my turkey brine melt-down last night. Sent me to bed and took care of the whole mess with my mom:) These hormones - I tell you...)
2. My family - God has blessed me with the amazing parents & in-laws and a fantastic brother. I've had such a great time sitting around, eating, cooking, eating, laughing, eating with them the past few days... only wish the Goods and Marshall could be here...
3. My health. I am strong & healthy. I have legs that work and lungs that breath. I've had a healthy pregnancy thus far and still been able to run.
4. God. Not to give the Sunday School answer - but He is the source of all the blessings in my life. He always fulfills his promises.
5. #10- This little miracle growing inside of me has already changed my life so dramatically. It boggles my mind to know that he/she will be sharing our Thanksgiving feast next year. (PS: #10 is our nickname for the little guy via my father-in-law based on the picture of the onesie in my previous post)
6. Last but not least, my friends. Hands down, I have the very best girlfriends in the entire world. They laugh with me, cry with me, support me, advise me and make me a better "me".
I found this quote yesterday and absolutely fell in love with it. It is my goal to apply this thinking to my every day life - not just Thanksgiving.
