Grateful

   I know that during the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving you are supposed to think about things you are thankful for, but for some reason I just keep thinking about how grateful I am for the things that have been given to me in this life by God.  That's sort of the same thing, you say?  Well, for some reason, it feels different.  I am so grateful that my family is healthy and all live relatively close to me.  I am so grateful for my in-laws (all of them), who are the best of their kind, and have always made me feel like a part of their family, not an outsider who married in.  I am so grateful to be healthy, happy and have a life full of wonderful friends and family, who I love so much.  And lastly, (and mostly, sorry everyone else)  I am eternally grateful to have Chase in my life, that he wanted to spend his life with me, and for our wonderful little boy, the most precious gift I have ever been given.  Who couldn't just love and adore this little mess?
