This time of year makes me sit back and think about all I have to be thankful for.
I am so thankful that we escaped all the crazy bad storms others were unfortuneate to get hit with. My heart and prayers go out to them all. I can't imagine a day without power, let alone weeks. And no heat. And flood damage. The list could go on and on.
I am thankful for my 4 kids and my husband. Often times they drive me crazy, but I can't imagine life without any of them. In fact my oldest son leaves for college this August. That's only 9 months away. Every time I think about it, I tear up. The whole dynamic of my house will change. I am so proud of him and excited for him, yet I am going to miss the hell out of him. And my boys are all close in age so they will leave bam, bam, bam. Thank God I have a 4 year gap before my diva leaves. By then maybe I'll be ready for the next stage of life. Travel with the hubby, grandbabies, more writint conferences :-)
I am thankful my husband has a job. This time last year, he lost his job. Devastating because he loved that place and always thought he would retire from there, but then found another one. It was a blessing, but I think he knew from the beginning it was a temporary one to hold him over until he found where he fit in. Amazingly, he is now back with his former job. Hopefully, for good this time. I truly think everything happens for a reason, and now he's back stronger than ever.
I am thankful all of our parents and brothers and sisters are still alive and healthy. And....we all get along :-) The craziest thing is even my hubby's grandmother is still alive at 98! And she still lives alone.
I am thankful for my fabulous agent, who works so hard for us all, and my BC babes who rock and my M&M's who are always there for me.
I am thankful for my friends who are so much fun and keep life exciting.
I am thankful for my health, and that my brain never shuts off and the ideas keep coming and coming.
And last but never least I am thankful for my loyal readers who keep coming back for me and giving me a reason to keep writing :-)

So tell me, people, what are you thankful for?
I'm thankful for my friends and family who keep me grounded and make me laugh til I cry. I'm thankful we are all healthy.
And I'm thankful to live in a country that in spite of it's economic issues, is a wonderful place, and for our military here and abroad for protecting what we believe in.
I'm thankful for my friends. That I'm with two really super publishers and that I've got the ability to write super books.
I'm also glad for a roof over my head and food on the table
Nice, Barbie! And I agree, big shout out to our military, especially during this time of year.
Well said, Lindsay :-) Happy holidays to you.
