Strong Enough

Over at the Inside out MB there is usually a thread called "Thankful Thursdays". It's basically what it sounds like, list 5 things we're thankful for. There are weeks I have to think really hard because it was a crummy week. Other weeks I breeze by and have to contain myself to just 5.
So what am I thankful for this Thursday?
1) my blog. yep...the more I post, the more I see the changes in my life. I see many different countries there in that visitor thingy-ma-jingy...of countries I've never been to before. Then I think that's awesome. Also, through this humble blog I have incredible support, inspiration from fabulous ladies, and I have my very small sounding board here. Too cool.

2) I say this every time: My family. I have a spectacular husband! I haven't been feeling too great...and he always steps up. He's on his way to Westchester with my DD, she needs to see a specialist. (say a prayer for her, please)  My kids are da bomb, as well. (Just remind me that I said this as I start going crazy from their fighting!!! LOL)

3)That there is progress going on at the Church I belong to!!! YAY! Some time ago I scrapped about it. It's about 90% done and it's all up to us members to help with the tedious little things that need to get finished. My DH  has been there on his spare time throughout the day to do things here and there. If it's been slow at work, he can be found there! (The Church is huge!!! One can get lost in there.)

4) That I am feeling better today. Yesterday was a rough day for me.

5) that my mommy was here. I'm so sad she had to go back, but seeing her makes my appreciation for her grow and grow.

AND a #6!

6) I am extremely grateful/thankful for those special men and women in the Armed Services who serve their country. They help make the freedoms we enjoy possible.
