"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. " -Helen Keller

Things I'm Thankful for...

Since I originally forgot to mention Thanksgiving in my first post of November, I thought I'd make up for it with this post.

Things I'm Thankful for...
·I'm thankful my husband has a job in this tough economy (even though his schedule has SUCKED royally).
·I'm thankful for a husband who works his ass off so I can stay home with our kids.
·I'm thankful for a husband who does more than his fair share of the laundry and the dishes because he says I work hard enough taking care of the kids.
·I'm thankful Marty's health scare was just a scare and nothing permanent.
·I am so very thankful I was in the position to pull Marty from school and homeschool him. He is a completely different kid now - more relaxed, more happy, just all together better.
·I am thankful I connected with this online community. I've made friends I know will be around for a lifetime and I've received so much support over the years. I wouldn't wish infertility on anyone but I wouldn't give up my experience with it because that would mean giving up this community.
·I am thankful for my family's health. Sure we have our health issues but they are all manageable ones.
·I'm thankful for the opportunity to write for Examiner.com. It is so cool to have things I write being published by someone else. GO READ MY LATEST COLUMN, PLEASE!
·I'm thankful that I'm going to be able to connect with both sides of my family on or near to the Thanksgiving holiday.
·I'm thankful that despite the tough financial times I have been able to do giveaways and plot and plan surprises for my fellow bloggers (a big one will be revealed soon).

Even on the worst of days, I can always find something to be thankful for. What are you thankful for today?

Great list, hubby sounds like an amazing guy.
I'm thankful for my chosen family. I just wish I were a little bit closer to them. I also am hugely thankful for this community.

Thank you for such a great post! It's always nice to put things in perspective.

I am so thankful for a healthy baby boy, for a great job, for living where I do, and for the wonderful friends I've made while blogging.
