10 Things I'm grateful for.......

With all the crankiness going on lately I often overlook all the good things going on. Thanks to Beth and her warm and fuzzy compliment thread, I was inspired to write a list of 10 things that I'm grateful for at this point in my life, just as a reminder that even when things seem really bad I can always fall back on the good stuff.
So here's my current top 10: I am grateful for.........
#10- Being able to stay home and take care of my boys and all their needs, and trying to be the best mommy I can be, even though some people may think otherwise.
#9-This pregnancy, being able to have another baby and feeling that I'm achieving something so important by bringing another life into this world.
#8-My house....as little and old and with all the improvements it still needs, at least we have a roof over our heads.
#7-Facebook and Myspace, who help me kill various hours during the day that I should be using to clean and organize this house, but also for helping me get in touch with people I hadn't heard from in years
#6-My online friends who have been there for me through thick and thin, who always listen without prejudice and always take my side! :) (love you gals)
#5-My "IRL" friends who stand by me no matter what and who always have words of support for me.
#4-Davides job that allows him to work from home (even if it is nights) so that he can help me get the boys out the door in the morning and put them to bed at night.
#3- My mom, whom even when she's across the ocean makes sure we talk at least once a day and always reminds me that she loves me!
#2-My husband, who puts up with my crap day in and day out and is always supportive no matter how insane I get.
#1-My boys, whom with all their craziness still make sure to hug and kiss their mommy various times a time, they make this all worth it.

What a great thing. I think we should all try to think of something we are grateful for every day.
Now, to take my own advice!

Those are great, Anna! What a blessed life you have...and I think most of us do when we take the time to be thankful like you did. I'm still trying to build that into a more consistent habit!
