There is always, always, always SOMETHING to be thankful for

It's November already!! It still amazes me how time just flies by when you raising a child! Although it's hard for to remember my son's newborn/infant days, I sometimes just have to stop and think, it's only been 2 years since he was a little baby in my arms. It just doesn't seem like 2 years should have gone that fast! And it doesn't make much sense to me that I can't remember as much as I wish I could.

Since November is the month of Thanksgiving,  I am going to try and challenge myself to be sure to take the time each day and give thanks. Every day I'm thankful, for something but, I probably don't take the time to really reflect on how truly fortunate I am.

I bought this wall hanging a few months ago at Hobby Lobby. I had been searching and searching for weeks trying to find something to replace our current "bread" and "cheese"  framed poster wall hangings from my husbands bachelor days! I took pictures of things I liked, showed them to my husband, and he just shook his head.  I even purchased some things that I really liked, so that we could hold them up again the wall to see what, if anything would work.  Glad we did, because even the things I loved in the store, just looked horrible in our kitchen! Well, finally by chance, I found this at Hobby Lobby!!  I bought it and just hoped Jason would like it. 



Thankfully, he did!  Now, of course 3 months later and we still haven't taken the time to hang it up but, I'm just excited that he liked it!!

So this month I'm starting with this wall hanging's saying. There is always, always, always something to be thankful for. 

Today, November 1st I'm thankful for my little family. I'm very thankful, and fortunate, to have a caring, kind, and funny husband. Although these years have been full of transitions, compromises, sacrifices -- they have always remained loving, fun, respectful, and cherished. Our love for each other grew once we had our son Alex.  Alex amazes us every day! To have someone to share in my excitement and joy has been amazing. Very thankful to have them both in my life!!
