Thanksgiving

Today is Thanksgiving and I wanted to make a list of the things for which I am grateful this year....

1) A loving Heavenly Father that allows me to have this wonderful chance to be here on earth at this time.
2) My savior, Jesus Christ, who paid the ultimate sacrifice so I could screw up A LOT in mortality and still have an opportunity to be forgiven and return to Him someday.
2) A dear husband, who works hard to take care of his family and loves me in small, quiet ways that astound me.
3) Children who successfully live high personal standards, even though it is not always the popular thing to do.
4) As much as I hate it, I am grateful for my job that pays me a ridiculous sum of money and helps to pay for my farm and travels.
5) My chickens who bring joy, and nourishment, to my life.
6) My returning health, because the alternate is just not much fun.
7) Good, caring nurses (and doctors) at Good Samaritan hospital who constantly amazed me with the level of care they provide in our small community.
8) Good friends, who help make this journey more exciting and entertaining.
9) Homeowners insurance....without it, my bank account would be empty this year.
10) Volunteer firefighters....see #9
11) America, where we can choose our own path and make our own way, at least for now. :)
12) Modern technology that allows me to stay connected with friends and family across the globe.
