Giving Thanks For Everything

When Thanksgiving rolls around, we all make a point to be grateful for the things we hold dear, our family, our children, our partners, our running shoes, our health. But a few years ago, I saw a picture on Pinterest that reminded me of being grateful for the things that are annoying, not only on Thanksgiving, but everyday.

I'm thankful for being stuck in traffic- because it means I have a car to be stuck in traffic with.

I'm thankful for the line at Starbucks- because this means I have a job and income that allow me small random expensive coffee treats.

I'm thankful for the fights I have with my siblings- because if we can fight, it means they are healthy, have a strong opinion on something and believe on something. < Even if it's hurtful at the time.... my older sister likes to pull my hair.

she might be shorter than me, but she still pulls my hair.

I'm thankful for my son's tantrums and meltdowns- same as with my siblings, I am always oh so grateful that he is healthy, smart and able to fight negotiate with me on bed times and getting more toys.

Tia= Aunt ... My son has called his Tia to come and get him before.





 

I am so grateful for all of you who take the time to come and read my random thoughts, especially when I get political and depressing. I have connected with so many wonderful people and I love reading your adventures in life!

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! Suzy, have an awesome Thursday! We are stuffing our faces with turkey and tortillas!!
