Day 6: Grateful for Morning Coffee

As I said in my previous post I never used to be much of a morning person. I hated coffee so that was no help and then.....AHHHH...I discovered Starbucks. My love affair with coffee had begun. Now mind you I come from a looooonnng line of coffee drinkers so I had always felt left out of the whole coffee thing. Then.....omg it got even better. They came out with flavored cream....so I could have my chocolate and drink it too. So since then my mornings have started looking better because I look forward to that first taste of chocolate coffee. And that makes me a Grateful person and my family appreciates it too!!

Day 5: Grateful for Country Mornings

Today I am grateful for country mornings! I never used to be much of a morning person but as I get older I have started to appreciate the newness of each day. Living in the country is best place I could imagine being. The stillness and guietness is comforting and calming to me.

Day 4: Grateful for Bible Study

Today I am grateful for my Thursday morning bible study. We are currently studying the book of Exodus. I feel so blessed to be able to spend my Thursdays with my fellow Christian women and spending time learning the word of God.

A Daughter is....

Thought I would do a quick layout with the pic. of Stephani and I.

Day 3: I am Grateful For My Children!!

Today I am grateful that God allowed me to be a Mother to the two most awesome kids!! First he blessed me with a son who has grown into an amazing young man. He is a hard worker, doing his plumbing apprenticeship with his Dad, a Fireman, and an Amazing Christian and Preacher whenever he gets the chance. Second I was blessed with a daughter who has brought so much sunshine to my life. She is currently going to college to be a nurse while working at the hospital and being a wife. She some days has her hands full and still she pushes on. She is turning into a strong and amazing woman. But most of all she is my Best Friend!!! I can't imagine life without them and they are the reason why at times when it seemed things were to hard that I pushed on. I love you both and you both complete me!!!!

Grateful For Rockin The Attitude

Day 2: Today I am grateful for the special times I get to spend with Zachery. Although both of my kids are grown and have their own places I still get to be a part of grade school fun. My life was blessed by this little guy who I have watched since he was 3 mos. old. I am still able to be a part of school functions and parties which I thought would be over when my kids left grade school. He def. pulled this costume off. He is supposed to be a punk rocker and his quote to me the day of the party was "I like all the attention." And he told one of the other Mom's "You just gotta know what the girls want." Thank you Zachery for always making me smile!!!

I am grateful for Survival!!

I decided to participate in a challange over at TSM. It is 30 days of gratefullness. Each day you post a picture of something you are grateful for and then link it to their blog. At the end of the month they are having a big prize giveaway. So with October just ending and it having been Breast Cancer Awareness month I decided to make my first entry "Survival." It has been 5 yrs. ago last May that I found out I had breast cancer. So much has happened in those 5 yrs. and I am happy to say that I am a "Survivor."
