29-30

29 I am grateful for health, being sick this week reminded me I am grateful that I am largely a healthy and functional person.  There are so many things that can afflict the human body. I am thankful that I have been spared them.

30- Finally, I am grateful for HaShem.  He makes all of the other 29 things possible.  He is the only reason there is.  There is not really anything I can say except I am glad He loves me

19**20**21

19
I am thankful that my husband has a job.  With all the politics and economic troubles.  I am SO thankful that we have an income right now that can support our family.
\\20
I am thankful for my education.  Past and future.  I am thankful that I live in a place where women are allowed an education.  I am thankful for parents who taught me to value education and thinking for yourself.  I am thankful for the chance to educate my children.  And I am thankful for the chance to finally complete my education.

21
I am thankful for my marriage.  (I know I already said I was thankful for my husband but this is different).  I am thankful that after thirteen years we still are here.  I am thankful that we both know the value of working hard at marriage when the world around us doesn't think its that important.  I am thankful that I am in a marriage with equal partners who respect each other, not a boss and a servant.  I am thankful for a partner in my parenting efforts and a cheerleader in my personal struggles   I am thankful that I got to choose my own partner and that G-d provided a great one.

Day 2,3,4,5

OK so.. it was a little inconvenient to get to my computer this weekend, but that does not mean I am not grateful, so here goes

2: I am grateful that I have a husband that considers it his duty to take care of our whole family, both financially and emotionally.
3: I am grateful that while we have had hard times by American standards, my children have never truly suffered. They have never slept in the snow or gone without food. They have never been without clothing.  They have never known the fear and uncertainty of a war right outside the door. They have never been ravaged by disease.

4: I am grateful that we have a great new house and a yard for the kids, I am so glad we can settle somewhere finally.


5: Despite all the arguing I am grateful I live in a country where we can vote and what we say actually matters.  That being said, I am also grateful its almost over.

Thirty Days Of Thanksgiving

I saw a few ppl doing this on facebook and I thought it was a great idea.
Today will be short because I just discovered this and it is bedtime!

I am grateful for my beautiful children.  I know the odds are against me having had only healthy pregnancies producing only healthy children.
