BGM Thankfulness Week: Sunshine, Laughter and My Children

being thankful for little things comes more naturally for children. they are so happy if a butterfly flutters by them or they see a rainbow in the sky. the changing colors of the leaves is mesmerising, and being able to paint all day is "the best!"

i can at least say that is a fact with my own children.

just being able to run around at the park on a sunny day is enough to keep them happy for hours. i love to hear the sound of their laughter as they chase each other up and down the ladders and slides.

other things i'm thankful for today- sunshine, my friends, books, my computer and the fact that i have a warm bed to sleep in every night...

what are you thankful for?

BGM Thankfulness Week: Love, Hugs and My Husband

on this, the first day of BGM Thankfulness Week, i am thankful for love, hugs and my hubby.

i am thankful for his smile, the way he makes me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world, and keeps my feet on the ground.

i'm thankful for his thoughtfulness, his honesty and his example as he works and lives everyday. he is a hero to our children and my best friend...

he has always so easily made me feel loved, and even when he's mad at me, or vice versa, he still never hesitates to say "i love you".

i couldn't imagine my life without his hugs, that seem to remind me that everything will be ok...

i am so thankful for him because he has made our marriage seem effortless and easy-- even in the times when i know it wasn't.

i am thankful for his love and thanks to it, i can honestly say i have been happily married for almost ten years...

i love you hubby always...and i am thankful for you, your hugs and your love.
