Giving Thanks

Now that the season for remembering and "Giving Thanks" is upon us, I would like to compile a small list of what I am thankful for... starting with things I know.
I am thankful that I know-

• Kisses heal all owies.
• It is worth the time it takes to make a child laugh. Not just a giggle, though those are good too, but a big gut busting belly laugh the shakes them from head to toe!
• All moms are human, but not every human gets the opportunity to be a mom
• Teaching the kids to help pick up will save some future spouse a lot of frustration
• My family loves me
• My family can forgive me when I mess up
• My Heavenly Father hears my prayers, even when I am driving down the road in a snow storm.... particularly then!

I am thankful that I have learned...

• Patience is a virtue, and I don't need things "RIGHT NOW!"
• Mr. Clean Magic Erasers can take the grime out of anything.
• Anything that Mr. Clean can't grab... "Goo Be Gone" CAN!
• Children forgive easily
• Words spoken in anger are remembered a heck of a lot longer than compliments
• Your parents are only human, and I can still learn from them.
• I will ALWAYS have a friend in my sisters
• How to count to ten before I make a comment which I might later wish that I had counted to ten before I said it....

I am thankful for...

• YOU
