Thankful

As we approach Thanksgiving tomorrow, I’m thankful for many things.

I’m thankful for our health. Yes, I have a cold and Little Dude has croup, but things can always be much worse, and we have access to health care, should our conditions worsen.

I’m thankful the Hubby and I are employed. The state of the economy says it all and our income means we can be thankful for our home, vehicle, food on the table, and so much more.

I’m thankful for family, which ranks at the top of my list. We are surrounded by love, even when we make each other crazy.

Truly, the list could go on and on. I know I complain at times, and that maybe I don’t sound as positive as I should, but overall, life is going well for me, and for my little family.

Today, though, I want to share a special person I’m very thankful to have in my life. Remember this post – the meme about the sixth picture in your sixth photo file? And do you remember how delighted I was to see this picture?

Today is G’ma’s birthday!

And, as I am her favorite granddaughter (Shhh… Don’t tell my older sister – Mrs. V, my younger sister or my cousins), I just want to honor her and say how thankful I am for her, and for everything she has ever done for me.

If you would like to share your birthday wishes here, she actually reads my blog! How cool is that? (And no, she is really not wild about my tattoo either, but I believe my mom ratted me out to her years ago…)

Now if she’ll just send a pan of her apple bars my direction… **mouth watering at the thought**

p.s. G’ma – Little Dude is still running around talking about the turtle bank he received from you, and “great-grandma.” I wonder if I can teach him to say “great g’ma” instead, by Friday when we see you? I sense a challenge – what do you think?
