Thankful

As Thanksgiving Day has come and gone, I have had plenty of time to think of all the ways in which I am blessed. 

• I have a wonderful husband who never lets a day go by without showing me and telling me that he loves me.
• I have a healthy, happy son who’s smile makes my day.
• I have wonderful parents and in-laws who love me and selflessly give to me and my family.
• I don’t have shingles this year.  I am particulary thankful for that because this time last year I had them and was just a few weeks away from my son coming down with the chicken pox. 
• Alan has a job he loves and I am able to stay at home and raise our son. 

Now for more on my wonderful husband.  Friday we went to Alan’s parents house for Thanksgiving, Part 2 and Eli spent the night with his Nana and Papa.  Saturday morning we actually slept in had the whole day to ourselves.  There was a Georgia football game on at noon so I figured we’d end up watching that.  I love football almost as much as my husband, but I have to admit I secretly wanted to take advantage of the time we had and spend time together.  While I was taking the shower that morning, my husband got on the phone an scheduled an appointment for us to go to a day spa.  We got ready, he took me to lunch, and off to the spa we went together.  I got a relaxing manicure and he got a back massage.  Then we went to do a little Christmas shopping.  All of this while Georgia was playing their last regular season game, which in the end, they unfortunately lost.  As we drove to pick up Eli, I had no doubt that I was loved and that I was a priority. 

In this new year, I want to focus more on all the things that I have to be thankful for.  I am truly blessed!
