I'm Thankful

Thanksgiving is upon us and I am exceptionally thankful this year.
I am thankful for my wonderful children, even though they make me crazy.
I am thankful for my wonderful husband, even though he makes me crazy.
I am thankful for my parents who support me in every endeavor.
I am thankful to still have all of my extended family with me this year.
I am thankful to have a roof over my head and a full belly, to have no NEEDS in life, only things that I'd eventually LIKE to have.
I am thankful to be who it is that I am. Finally for once, I am content with the person that I have become.
I am thankful that I can finally look past all the materialistic BS and see what really does make me rich in life.

What are you thankful for this year?
