Thanksgiving

Can you believe that it is already time for Thanksgiving? Often we see posted on Facebook and other social media sites people stating all the things they are thankful for; So of course I will spend a bit of time here sharing what it is that I am most thankful for in my life.
One, I'm thankful to God that I have my family! I am very blessed to have my children, as much as they are crazy-makers through-out the year with their hair-brained ideas! I'm still glad I have them! Now, if they would find jobs and move out of my house I would be even more blessed ;) ....Just kidding!!! Seriously, I'm hoping that the kids would find jobs so that they can become responsible adults and learn how to answer to a boss and move on in the world...however, we are still waiting on this to happen!....SLOWLY!!!
Second, I'm thankful for my health. Most of you don't realize that as a disabled vet, I struggle with fibromyalgia and numerous other medical issues. That being said, it could be worse! Living with pain on a daily basis, I have found that having my home business of Scentsy helps me to keep my mind off of it and allows me to focus on making other people happy with a product that they enjoy!
Third, I'm thankful for my fur-babies! As much as I talk about my island of misfit pets...without them our house would be lonely! They keep things interesting everyday and I am blessed to have them in my life.
Finally, the one thing that a lot of people also don't realize about me is I donate to the community. I'm thankful for my ability to give back to others. I don't say this to say, "Yeah me"...I'm putting this in my blog, because it hasn't always been this way. Believe me I have been on the receiving end of donations in my lifetime, I have received food, clothes, whole meals, bags of groceries, and money during the holidays for my family and always felt that if ever I could turn the tables I would. This way if someone else could benefit the way I did they could, Pay it Forward! For the last two years thru my Scentsy business I have made it a point to donate to Toys For Tots since my kids have received thru this organization and other similar organization. I have been so thankful that God has blessed me and my family despite the economy to be able to continue to do this!

So I'm thankful, very thankful everyday...for my family, pets, a job, Scentsy...which allows me to donate to others...and my customers. God has truly blessed my life and I'm thankful!

Everyday we should count our blessings and never forget a simple random act of kindness!
Never let an opportunity to pay if forward pass you by!

Buy someone a cup of coffee just because, expect nothing in return, imagine the expression on their face when you do this? I've done this....It brightens someone's day!

Be Thankful for your  blessings each and everyday, not just at Thanksgiving!...Until Next time! :D
