Give Thanks in Your Life

I am thankful each and every day for…
…my husband of 20 years who loves me, supports me in everything I do, treats me good (better than good, actually) and makes me laugh. He’s probably better than I deserve.
…the great family & friends ~ near and far ~ that I am fortunate enough to have in my life.
…my health. Other than a few minor age-related, normal wear-n-tear things, I am in excellent health.
…my creative ability. And for “the eye” that allows me to make inspired connections between things whether it be an odd flea market find and knowing just where to put it in my home or a shape and a color that becomes a full-blown licensable collection.
…the ability to actually make a living from my artistic ability. I truly love what I do.
…my comfortable home. It is a restful, calm, cozy place.
…this great area in which I live. I am constantly saying how much I love Florida, this area in particular. The ocean, the river, loads of parks, an inlet ~ can’t ask for much more.
…all the opportunities I have had in my life to travel. It feeds my creative spirit and grows my awareness.
These are things I reflect on each and every day upon waking and before going to sleep. Remembering and being grateful for these things often gives me the feeling that any troubles are small and manageable. Life really is good.
What are you most thankful for in your daily life?
