Thankful 24

Day 24: I am thankful for my entire dysfunctional family! ;) My immediate household of course: the hubby and my 3 babies, my mom and step-dad, my dad and step-mom, my grandparents (SO happy I still have them), my uncles and aunts, my cousins, my in-laws, nieces and nephews and all of my many adopted siblings. I have such a fabulous network of family and friends. My heart does ache today for my baby sis who had to spend it without her hubby and baby while she awaits her transfer. Thank God they get to be together for Christmas.

Day 17: I am thankful for technology. Though I curse it at times, it's amazing how it brings people together. I'm amazed at the people I'm reconnecting with from my childhood through Facebook. It's amazing. It's also great getting to keep up with people through that medium at my leisure rather than trying to have a phone conversation with screaming children in the background.
And cell phones...I remember how we survived before them, but I couldn't go back. It's easiest for me to have a phone conversation when we are in the car because all the little demons are strapped in with nothing to break. Add the ability to text message and oh boy! It's nice sending quick notes back and forth across the country to my sister.
The Internet...you can find anything on there! I'm still amazed by it ever day. There's SO much information! It truly is ridiculous. Email is fabulous though. And Skype. And Pinterest. Ah, Pinterest. That's my latest addiction. I could spend days on there. It's probably a good thing my app keeps freaking out on me and either kicking me off or telling me I'm out of pins. How can I be out of pins? They're virtual! Technology....yes, I'm still thankful. :)

Day 15: I am thankful for dear friends. I have had so many people get in touch with me to check on Maddy today. I am glad technology can bring us together even though we live apart. I am also thankful for cold medicine. Without it, I'm not sure how well I would have fared over the last week. I love fall, but the weather change wreaks havoc on my sinuses. I am glad cold medicine helps me breathe and still be able to taste what I'm eating. It's so I unsatisfying to eat something you can't taste.

Day 10: I am thankful for friends. We have so many wonderful friends and I am so thankful that they would all be there in a heartbeat if we needed them. They are all the type that we can go days, weeks and even months without talking and then pick back up like no time has passed at all. Most of them are just as busy with life as we are and all of them are understanding. I am blessed beyond measure to be surrounded by people who love life.
