WOW.. So long, so much.

I love this color. I don't know why I just do. I was inspired tonight by a blog that I follow called counting blessings. First, I love the way that she has her page set up and I wish mine could do that too. Just not sure how. Second her post was so simple and true it is hard not to follow suit. So I decided to put together a little list of thing that I am thankful for right now:

1. I am thankful for my new job. It is amazing. It is far away but well worth it. I believe that I am there for a reason and I plan to find out why real soon.

2. I am thankful for my very well behaved 16 year old boy. I have heard so many nightmares about teenage life that I was so scared. I love the fact that people comment how well mannered he is and how lucky I am.

3. I am thankful for the family that I have in my life right now. They support me and keep me on my toes. I have an amazing man who takes care of everything that I am not able to due to my commute. I have a sister in law that keeps the adventure coming and extended elderly family that gives me an opportunity to find my inner patients and understanding.

4. I am thankful for a stepbrother to my son that keeps him entertained and can show the meaning of helpfulness just when you thought it was lost.

5. I am thankful for my dog and even my cat too. My dog makes me smile everyday. I love him so much. My cat on the other hand is a bit hard to handle. He used to be such a lover of a cat and now he is quite independent and stand offish. However it makes me cherish our close moments all the more.

Well enough about all that. I am needing to go to bed now. I am trying to go to bed earlier due to an early morning leave time of 540am.. Looking forward to my new beginning next week we shall see. We shall see.
