Grateful

Being that today is the anniversary of one of the worst tragedies close to home in my life time, I wanted to take the time to recall all that I am grateful for. Never wishing to go through my days missing the blessings that are plentiful in my life:

1. Living in the Greatest Country in the World - Yea U.S.A.
2. Freedom to live and thrive by any means that works with me.
3. My God, that provides me with strength, love, and life.
4. My hubby that is the strongest side of us and a constant reminder of how lucky I am to be his princess!
5. My children - all 5 of them, who challenge me to be a better mom, a better friend and a better person. Teaching me how to stop and live.
6. My friends who can cry with me, when I am hurting and make me laugh my way back into life, when all seems lost. My true friends are always there and always bring me back.
7. My dog who is always happy to see me. Is trained better than any other household dog I have ever had. Who makes me feel like I am the most loved human in the world.
8. Our businesses, that continue to flourish and sustain, even when we feel the weight of them on our shoulders.
9. My body, which is strong enough to carry loads and work like the dickens to get me to a better place mentally and physically.
10. Music - that lets me experience every emotion from crazy wild, to uplifting comfort to relaxing reminiscence to reminders of past hurts. Music is definitely my language of choice. Nothing is truly experienced without it.

Looking out at this beautiful day, I am grateful for more than I could possibly note here.

Are you grateful at this point in your life? If so, how about a meme? Give me 10 things that you are grateful for.
