What I am Thankful for..

I wanted to add this to my blog before the Thanksgiving day ended. I think we should be thankful for all experiences, situations, interactions, and individuals in our lives because you may not see it but they happen for a reason and make you who you are today. Here are just a few things that I would like to share that I am thankful for:

1. First and foremost, I am thankful for my Mom and step Dad who have done everything that they could for my brothers and me. Life has not always be the greatest of times but they have always been there for all of us no matter what was going on in their lives.

2. I am thankful for each and every member of my family. Some of us are closer than others but the fact that we are family always makes it easy to come together when we need to. Without the love and support of family I would not be where I am in my life today.

3. I am thankful for my boyfriend Neil. He has become my best friend and my rock through life's ups and downs. He makes me laugh, smile and fall in love with him all over again each and every day!

4. I am thankful for my puppy Buddy. The day he showed up on my back porch he saved and rescued my life. I think I needed him more in my life than he needed me and I get so much joy out of his presence. He greets me at the door every day I come home and is a loyal companion.

5. I am thankful for all my new and old friends. I get to share experiences and great times with them. They will stick with you through standing in line for concert tickets to helping you cope with the loss of a loved one. They are my extended family and I love them all.

6. I am thankful for the opportunity to further my education. Not everyone gets a chance to pursue their passion and attending college is going to give me that opportunity. I really enjoy these health classes and enriching my life with all that I learn.
