Day 23 & 24

Day 23: Today I am thankful for the changing off the seasons.

I am thankful to watch the changing of the seasons.  Even if it means colder weather is coming I enjoy the fall with the colors of the leaves.  With the cold we look forward to springtime which reminds me of life when everything greens up and blooms out.
 
Day 24: Today I am thankful for my brothers. They both were on loan to us for far too short a time but I am thankful for the time our family had them with us and the memories they left with us.

I really don't know what else I can add to this one.  I miss them both terribly but am thankful for the time we had.
  

Day 22: My Daddy

Day 22: Today I am thankful for Daddy. His birthday is today and as hard as it is to believe he would have been 81 today. I don't think there ever comes a time that missing him gets any easier.

My daddy has been dead for 13 years and I miss him now as much as when he first died.  I think when we lose someone we love that it is something that we never really get over.  We just learn to live with it, adjust and adapt.  When someone we love dies they leave us great memories but I also think that each one takes a  piece of us with them.  I miss my daddy but I am thankful for the time that we had and the memories I have of him.

Day 21: Yes, I Am Behind

Day 21: Today I am thankful for my business and all the clients that are truly friends.

I have a fairly stable business which is pretty amazing giving the climate of the industry.  Many of my clients I do consider as friends.  I find it very touching that as their insurance agent there are many of them when we finish an appointment they hug me and tell me they love me.

Day 20: Family

Day 20: Today I am simply thankful for family. I personally think I have the best one that a person could be blessed with.

I have written on more than once how great my family is.  We aren't perfect, but then no body is, but it is without question the most awesome thing to know you are always there for each other.  As I mentioned to the minister who did Mama's funeral, we may not always agree, we may not necessarily like what the other is doing but there is NEVER a time that you doubt the support, help, and love will be there when you need them.

Relationships

Day 19: Today I am thankful for the relationship that my daughter and her mother-in-law have. Her mother-in-law is a sweet lady who welcomed my daughter into her family and for that I am thankful.

I am thankful for this relationship and that my daughter and her mother-in-law each like and respect each others position.  There are many in-law relationships that are strained at best and I am thankful that is not the case here.  (Oh and her husband has a pretty cool mother-in-law too.  LOL)
