Being Thankful

A very dear friend of mine taught me that when you are feeling down you should look at what your are thankful for and it will cheer you right up! I was feeling down today so I took her advise...you know what, I am one lucky girl. Deshawn and I have been to hell and back in the last two years and what a blessing it is for both of us that we found our way back to each other and things could not be better. We both are working hard to keep the communication open and treat each other with respect and kindness. There are so many out there that don't have true love in their lives and I am so blessed that I found it in mine. D has really taken very good care of me and has taught me what it means to be loved 100%!

I am also blessed with the best friends anyone could ask for. I have a number of people in my life today that I can call at anytime with any issue and they are there for me no matter what. They all know I would do they same for them as well and to have that kind of loyalty and compassion is simply amazing!

I am blessed to have a very supportive father, who loves me for me and looks past the mistakes I have made. I have 2 amazing Aunts and several wonderful cousins that I have renewed relationships with this year, that have showed me more compassion and acceptance than I could ever hope for! and Finally I am truly blessed beyond measure with the best son in the world. Sean has become an insightful, extremely intelligent and compassionate young man and I am so excited to see where he takes his life in the year to come!! 2008 was not the best year of my life by any means but it was filled with life lessons and growth that have made me a better person today...here's to 2009! I love all of you more than you know!
