Thankful Doesn't Even Cover It

Over the past month many people have taken to Facebook to share 30 things they are thankful for.  Well I saw some friends had taken to bloggin about it and I thought that was a great idea bc I wasn't sure that one status a day could hold all my many blessings.  The only drawback is I'm sure by doing this all in one night I will forget somethings but it doesn't change how I feel about them.  So anyways here are the things I am thankful for (or at least some of them anyway)....

Mama - I am so grateful for the relationship that we have formed over the years and no words could ever describe my love for you

Gram - U are my second mama and play a huge part in who I am today.  Which I know you tell me is not always a good thing but I believe it is because you are one of the most amazing people I have ever known.  I appreciate being lucky enough to have such a close bond with you.  

Bill - For never loving me as anything less then your own and all of the random, deep conversations had through the year

Dad- Though our relationship has never been the greatest you showed up when I needed you most 

Will & Sam - growing up with you two has for sure had its ups and downs but I wouldn't have it any other way.  I cant imagine having to go through life without 

Mikey - you have my heart and will always be my lil buddy.  life completely changed the day you were born and I believe you have thought me more about love then anyone else.  

God's Plan - I have really had to put a lot of faith in everything happens for a reason the past few months and have become so much more open and accepting of this.  God's plan is best so let go let God as I was always told.  

My Past - It has completely shaped who I am today with the ups and downs

My Life at Present - It is pretty darn fabulous!

My Future - Excite to see what is in store for me.

Friends - I was never someone who kept up with friends a lot or even hung out with them too often but now I cant imagine life without them.  I have made some amazing friends and grown closer to ones I've known a while.  Some have become like second mamas and sisters to me.  I know through good and bad they have my back.  I know I don't do the best job with always keeping up with everyone but I am always happy and grateful to hear from friends.

J. Rainey - Although you fall under the friend bubble you are so much more.  You are my soul mate friend, my sister from another mama.  I can NOT imagine these past few months without you and I know whatever roads are in store for us we will always be together traveling them.

Dan McGuinness Southaven- without this place I would not have met some of the most wonderful people ever 

My Job - I have a job that I beyond absolutely love.  I get to play with kids who I have grown to love, go shopping, go on trips, and tons of other fun things.  I am blessed for sure!

My Bosses - Not only do I have a job that I love but I have bosses at my job that I love.  They have made me feel like part of the family.  

The Good Times - they make life worth living :)

The Bad Times - Without the bad times there is no way I could appreciate the good times nearly as much as I should

Tears of happiness - only until recently did I this become something I understood.  I never got how people could cry because they were happy.  But now I have moments when I feel so happy, full, complete etc that I am just overcome and the only thing left to do is cry.  I am very thankful to understand and experience these kind of tears.

Laughter - there is nothing like hearing laughter (esp children's) and the feeling in your stomach when laughing 

Music - it is amazing that something can make me stand up and want to dance and the next minute sit down on the verge of tears.  Sometimes when I maybe felt slightly hopeless about the whole love thing I would hear a song that would just so get it I knew that there was really no reason to feel hopeless.

Dancing - it just makes me happy.  I prob dance everyday weather I'm out with friends or dancing around the house. 

Happiness - Just being able to wake up and know I am happy.  

Knicks - For having a winning season so far this year, fingers crossed that continues 

Guys - from the good to the bad they have all taught me a lesson about myself ultimately making me a stronger person

Sense of Self - As of late I have become much more aware of who I am.  I am thankful for that understanding and just being so comfortable with who that person is.  

Random Text Messages - they always bring a smile to my face 

Perry - for your companionship even though I at times feel I'm undeserving of it 

c25k - for the guidance and guilt it provides 

My Car - it gets me where I need to go and has a functioning radio.  Nothing like driving with the windows down and the music up 

My Bathtub - it has helped me to learn to relax.  nothing like a warm bath after a log day 

My House - even though it is at times is a source of huge stress at the end of the day I am a single 26 year old who owns a gorgeous 4 bedrooms 2.5 bathrooms house where Thanksgiving always takes place.

So those are just some of the things I could think of for tonight.  I hope everyone had a thankful November.
