What I am Thankful For

There is much to be thankful for this year.  Here is a short list of the things I am thankful for.

1. The tremendous support we have gotten from friends and family both near and far.  This means the world to us.  
2. Spending the holidays with family. 
3. Bedtime rituals.
4. Two amazing days at school for junior.
5. Kisses & hugs.
6. Becoming a family. 
7. Shrimp cocktail. 
8. Wine.
9. Chocolate.
10. A husband that cooks. 
11. My car. 
12. A job I love.  (OK I've had 2 jobs I have loved this year.  It was hard leaving the first but I am thankful that I did).
13. The dog - she is a horrible beggar dog but I still love her.
14. The cat - her cuddles at night keep me warm. 
15. Financial security. 
16. Free travel.
17. Being called mommy. 
18. House cleaners.  
19. Being able to help and inspire others on their journey to adoption.   This has been a tremendous surprise to me and has touched me in so many ways.  I never thought of myself as being an inspiration to others.  
20. This sign we received from a friend pretty much sums up everything
