In rough economic times, I am thankful that my husband has employment. Employment that allows us to live in an exotic location, if only for just a time. Employment with medical and dental benefits. Employment that allows me to be a stay-at-home-mom. We have truly been blessed. I know that not everyone has the same blessing.
I'm thankful for life. It's much too short. Too short to hold grudges. Too short not to live it to the fullest. Death has been a sad reality for me lately. With the passing of my father, I realized how close to home it could hit. My dad was a wonderful man. Noble, stoic, and loving. He fought for justice for those whose voice could not be heard. He is my inspiration and I learned a lot from him.
I'm thankful for love. The love of my husband, who loves me in spite of my faults. He loves me far more than I deserve. He is patient, he is kind, he is firm and he is gentle. He completes me. The love of my children, biological or not. I am humbled everyday by how much they admire me. My family. My friends. Love surrounds me.
I am thankful for happiness. To be happy in times of great sadness.
I have truly been blessed.
A hui hou!
