I have to say that today I am particularly grateful for my family, friends, and life in general. Not saying that everything in my life has been perfect, but I haven't had any major traumatic events in my life. My parents raised me well, taught me the meaning of working hard, loved all of us, gave me religion, and provided a home for us (and any "strays" that they found - as in people that they even met at Wal-mart). Although I fought like crazy with one of my sisters growing up, the past is the past and we have a good relationship now (I actually talk to her more than my sister that I have always had a good relationship with). I have a husband who although is quite the opposite of me, is also perfect for me. He treats me well, provides for our family, is wonderful with our kids, and most import LOVES me (as I recently told a friend, he's not perfect, but neither am I - it seems like every year our marriage gets better and stronger - can't wait to see what we're like in 20 years!). I hope that I can give my kids the same kind of love that has been given to me, that they may find the friends to support them, the faith and values to guide them, and the opportunities to be the kind of the people I know they will become.
Anyway, THANK YOU to all my family and friends who have helped shape me into the person I have become.
