Feeling Blessed

     Maybe it's this time of year, but lately I have sure been grateful for the beautiful life I've been given. During this season, it's so easy to get caught up in all the things we dont have rather than all the wonderful things we've been blessed with. I got caught up in it too, but was soon given a reality check when I realized how fortunate I really am. So many others struggle to pay bills, are lost, lonely, or depressed. So many are hungry and homeless. It breaks my heart when I think of how much I've been blessed with and some people have so much less.
     I feel so blessed that Marty and I both have good jobs. I don't always like mine, especially my 12 hour holiday shifts, but I am so lucky to have it. I'm grateful for school and that soon, I will be teaching and having a reliable job for my family.  I'm also thankful for our ability to save money and not have financial stress. This is such a real thing for so many people and I know just how hard that can be. I'm so grateful, also, for my business. It has done extremely well and has helped bring in extra income for us as well as teach me a lot about responsibility.
    Even more so, I'm so thankful for my absolutely amazing husband. Seriously, he makes my life so much better. He walks me out to my car each morning, helps me scrape it, and makes sure I'm safe. I came home from my boutique last week to a squeaky clean home that me cleaned all by himself on his day off. He stays up late helping me with nutrition homework and cheering me on. He always supports, enciurages, and loves me, even when I don't deserve it. We have so much fun together and he is truly my best friend.
     I could go on and on about now I'm grateful for family, our home, food, and everything else but I want to keep this post short. I am truly grateful for everything I have and encourage everyone to make a list of all the things they are grateful for. Also, remember that during this time of year, we should try to give back as much as we can. We should be supporters of our fellow men, and try to help any way we can. Merry Christmas everyone!
