Yes, all November long, I was one of those people who participated int he 30 days of "thanks" in November on Facebook. I haven't joined in any other year, but I decided I wanted to play along this November.
Each year I read about how people are thankful for their family, their children, etc. but it seems like such a blanket response and not truly heartfelt. I decided that I would not post until the end of the day and that I would reflect back upon the day and find the one thing I truly was thankful for in that given day. So, here they are.......
My Thankfuls for November 2013
1. I'm going to jump on the bandwagon before it's too late. Day 1- I'm thankful for my husband. Words cannot express how much he means to me. Love you DJ!
2. I'm thankful for my true friends. Those that are always there. Those that we pick up where we left off and those that I've only met online. To those ladies, thank you!
3. I'm thankful to have some amazing wives on the coaching staff and I'm glad to be a part of them and in thankful for helpful neighbors!
4. Thankful for my job. I love going to work. I love my schedule. I love that it's about to turn full time, but I'm not going to lie, the last two months have been amazing! Blessed to have my masters degree!
5. Thankful that I was able to have a lunch date with the hubby today! Also thankful that my embroidery machine did not mess up today while I was working!!!
6. Today I am thankful for this little girl (Megan) who makes me smile and laugh every single day. She has the most fun personality. She's full of giggles and smiles. She's also shy and timid and I love that about her. Thankful that God chose me to be her mommy.
7. Today I'm thankful that I get to take my big girls to school. I'm thankful that I'll have a productive day while they learn and play with their friends.
8. Landed in Greenville, NC! Looking forward to a great wives trip and game! #gohurricane #coachwifelife Thankful to be a part of such a wonderful team.
9. Thankful for time away with DJ and friends. Such a fun time at dinner last night. And even though TU didn't come home with a W, it's fun to see what my hubby does on the job. Thankful he loves his job!
10. Thankful the girls and I were able to bake cookies, probably the best part of our day... Everything else was rough

14. Thankful for bedtime. I'm exhausted.
15. Thankful my hubby was home for dinner for the first time in months!
16. Thankful that Gretchen is making new little friends at school! So much fun seeing them play together this afternoon. Also thankful that even though my hubby thinks I'm crazy, he fully supports me! He even cooked dinner, cleaned up the kitchen, and unloaded the dishwasher? I'm a blessed lady!
17. Thankful that I went to church this morning. I did not want to go b/c I was feeling so overwhelmed with my "to-do's" but I went, and I really needed that hour to refocus and calm myself. Also thankful for Kailah Stone and Ashley Manson…. two amazing ladies that have helped to keep me sane this weekend!
18. Thankful for my full time job. It's very stressful right now getting all the students testing and caught up, but God knew I needed to be home part time for the first few months of Addy's birth, and then he knew the perfect timing to throw me back into a full time position
19. Thankful that DJ got to hear Adalyn laughing. #bestsoundever

23. Thankful for the memories made with the girls today while we decorated for Christmas; playing in the "snow", Meggie eating an ornament, G getting gum in her hair…. the fun never ends. #thismamaistired #almostdonedecorating

30. {Skipped}
Out of all 30 days only 3 days were skipped! I'm pretty proud of myself for keeping up with it and for beign able to reflect back and remember all of the blessings God has given to me.
I am also teaching Gretchen the principal of being thankful. Right before Thanksgiving she started to complain that her friends get to do things or have more things than her, and it saddened me to see her so ungrateful for all that she has. I've started having her tell me one thankful before every meal and I love hearing what she comes up with! It's also been a great reminder for her how blessed she really is!
