I couldn't...but I did manage to come up with a few! Thanks for inspiring me to REALLY think about my surroundings. FYI these are my top things to be thankful for.... * My adorable and loving children (daughter age 3 son age 1) * Knowing that post pardem does NOT last forever and that I WILL get through it * Having a wonderful man in my life that stands by me (even if getting close is risky at the moment) * Even though our home is small and packed full of things that take up to much space, its overflowing with love! * The support group that I started for other mothers...without those ladies I would be lost most days! Once again thanks for the great blog! After reading your list (and drying my eyes) I really tried to come up with as many things as you have on yours.

(My "baby" is 26).<br/> I'm thankful that I have a job which earns me enough to pay the rent and utilities.<br/>I'm thankful that I learnt many years ago to live within my means, never spending more than I earn. I'm thankful for my senses, I can see, hear and feel, the wind, rain, trees, flowers, birds and insects.
