Love this idea!

I'm thankful for...
My husband and daughter
The little peanut in my tummy
The ability to work at home, making as much money as my DH
My kitty's tail (he's sleeping beside me right now and I love playing with the tail)
eh, the rest of my kitty too, I guess
Supportive online communities (this and one other)
having enough money to get by pretty comfortably
Caffeine, especially fizzy caffeine
My creativity that needs more exercise the rest of the year but gets plenty in November.

I am thankful that for my husbands 10 year anniversary at his company, they gave him a super cute kids table and chairs that matches perfectly with my newly decorated daycare area

I am also thankful for everything that we have accomplished this year. I was laid off unexpectedly (company shut down) and cried for weeks about it. Here I was pregnant and out of work. I am thankful I met a wonderful family that hired me as their summer nanny and let me bring my son with me, and they were the inspiration for my daycare.

I am thankful for my old daycare being such an amazing support system to help me open up my own daycare..

I am thankful for:

God
My family-DH, parents, sisters etc
My dog-I will explain
My job
My friends-real and online ::
My life in general

I am thankful for my dog for one reason. She has taught me that it is ok to love again.

I had a dog for 14 and a half years. She was in a nutshell, the love of my life (apart from DH of course!) She was such a faithful little animal. I had her from the age of 16 until 31. She was the best.

We had to let her go to the Rainbow Bridge on Nov. 23 2004. I took it extremely hard. The whole family (she was the family dog and my sister and I still lived at home with the parents) said no more dogs. However my mother would cry whenever she would come home saying the house was to quiet since we were always singing to our lost one.

Well it was decided 3 weeks later that yes we would get another family pet. So on Dec. 17 2004 we got a new best friend. I told myself that I would not get close to another animal as it was to much heartache.

However as they say, time heals all wounds. I will never forget. Our little girl had a toy named Raggy (all her toys have names :. I was sitting on the couch with a blank face just staring at her. She was swinging Raggy around, twisting her head in a circle. I was cracking up. My first immediate thought was..I was in love again. I didn't want to but I was.

One of the first toys I ever bought her was Quackers. Its a purple duck with a huge flowered hat. When she was a puppy, it was bigger than she was HAHA. She would sit there and growl and bark at it. Now she slams it against the floor growling. It is her favorite toy.

Sorry for such a long post. I just had to share how 2 animals brought me such love. My first animal taught me the power of love. While my current little girl taught me that it's ok to love again.

I've already said what I'm thankful for, but I wanted to post about a note that came home from my DD's school (she's in kindergarten). I guess the teacher had gone around asking the kids what they were thankful for, and the teacher wrote it down on a note to send home to the parents. She wrote:
"I am thankful that Jesus died on the cross for our sins."
This is a public school, so no mention of religion. I know on this forum we all have our own beliefs, but I am sure we all can relate to the joy we get when our children start to cherish the beliefs that we have worked so hard to teach them! Aaaah, my heart just melted. I'm doing something right as a parent!::
