Give thanks

I came across this saying, "Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving"

It really made me stop and think- how often do I say I'm am thankful for all my blessings but never stop to think how I have used them in my life.

So here are some of my blessings that have helped me become a better me. I count my children they have taught me so much and have helped me try harder to be stronger to be more patient and live life a little more simply.

I count my family and friends as blessings. You all have helped me by lifting me up, encouraging me, being a shoulder to cry on and believing in me.

I also count my hard times as blessings even though they are yucky and hard to go through I come out of them a stronger more determined person. I have grown so much from them and have learned love and empathy for others. Really aren't we all are struggling with something - it's just what we do or take from it that matters.

So I give you all a big thanks for being a blessing in my life- Happy Thanksgiving!
