Thanks....Giving

I feel that Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for what we have and have been given in this great lifetime. I know we should be thankful all of the time but it is always that easy. I know that I am thankful for so much but usually think of the things in life that I don't have or want....human nature is never satisfied! Here are a few thought of mine....
Thank you for allowing me to be me.
For letting me shine when I have earned that right.
For patting me on the back when I have done good.
For putting me in check when I was overly cocky.
For appreciating that I’d do just about anything to help anyone ~
For not taking advantage of that fact!
Thank you for being you.
For coming through with help when you know I’m to stubborn to ask for it.
For building my confidence by recognizing what I do accomplish.
For keeping me humble – without hurting my confidence.
For not judging me too harshly, because I really am only human.
For forgetting those judgments – because that’s what friends do.
For realizing as my friend, you are on a pedestal
For understanding that I of course expect superhuman traits (like reading my mind) from you.
For forgiving me when I have been too hard on you.
For knowing that when I’m hard on you it’s usually because I’m disappointed in myself.
For knowing I’d never intentionally hurt you or your feelings.
For making me laugh when I wanted to cry.
For lending your shoulder when I needed to cry, without making me feel like a wimp.
For knowing I’m one of the guys, who’s still a girl and even sometimes a lady.
So this Thanksgiving – remember I am thankful for you.Your individuality. Your uniqueness. Just plain ole YOU! Your unconditional love of someone just like me, who love’s you unconditionally for being in my life.
I have been so grateful for my parents who sacrificed so much for me to have never let me go with-out anything!
my husband who puts up with me...and somehow still seems to love me through it all, for all he does as a husband and a father, all of his hard work, love and laughs.
For my awesome boys who put meaning into my everyday and make me so happy to be a mom.
For my family....they have helped to make me the person I am today (like it or not :) I am grateful to have come from a large family and to have multiple siblings who are also my friends.

Thanks to everyone who is in or has passed through my life, all of my life experiences have made my who I am and I am grateful that you are in my life. Thanks for being part of the ride and I hope we have a long and happy road ahead!!!

Love,

Britt
