Too late???

Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone, and I've been thinking all week what I am truly thankful for. There are so many things I almost find it silly to make a list on the ole' internet here... but there are a few that I want to write down this year.

1- My Father in Heaven for his constant comfort, perspective, and blessings that he continues to pour down on my little family. Even though I am not a perfect child, he continues to bless me.
2- My amazing and incredible husband. Who works full time as a manager which can be stressful at times, and goes to school at night, and then comes home and picks up the slack that I have left him at the end of the day. Who loves me UNCONDITIONALLY even though I have caused him to get a few more gray hairs this year with all my shenanigans that I've been pulling. Who tells me that I am beautiful even though I am bald, and sickly, and grumpy a lot of the time because I don't feel so well. He is irreplaceable... I love him so much.
3- My little monkey child who brings so much joy and laughter into our house. Who also loves me unconditionally, who has such a sweet and tender heart. Who made me a mother, for that I am truly grateful!
4- For friends and family who support me and my family. Friends who are willing to do whatever I need. Friends who do not forget about me... and call to check up on me once in a while. Friends who have prayed for me and my family this year.
5- GOOD DOCTORS!!! Without good doctors who know what they are doing I'm not sure where I would be right now. I'm also super grateful this year for good health insurance.
6- For knitting... which has kept my hands super busy this year while I've sat at the doctors office, week after week. It has been a huge blessing in my life this year.
7- For my health!!! This may sound like a crazy one because I'm really not that healthy right now having cancer and all... but despite my cancer the rest of my body is healthy. I'm strong! My body can continue to do the things that it needs to do for my family and for that I am really grateful.
8- The bath tub... it really is the small things that matter sometimes the most. To be able to rest my aching bones, or just sit and relax after a long day. The tub has become one of the greatest things in my life... seriously!
9- The gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I'm grateful that I know where my little baby boy is, and that he is a part of our family. I'm grateful that I know that families can be eternal.
10- For the pest control company that comes every month to spray for scorpions for me. Not having to worry about scorpions has been wonderful!!!

Just wanted you to know that with your scan...it will be gone. And on the off chance its not, it will be by the end. I just had my third scan, and even though I don't have the results yet, I know I'm fine. Oh, and get lots of blessings, it helps so much.

It's never too late to express gratitude.
I would add the internet and what a wonderful gift that is for connecting with people and keeping in touch.
