I am thankful...

I had a difficult week last week. Today I was reading one of the blogs that I read and she was making a list of all the things she is thankful for because she had had a difficult time too. So thanks to Nikol of The Thrifty Knitter, here is  my list.

1. I am thankful for my wonderful son and that he is healthy and happy (well, happy for a 2-year-old!)
2. I am thankful for my wonderful husband who is kind, caring and loving (even when I go all psycho crazy Doomsday on him).
3. I am thankful to be employed in this difficult economic time.
4. I am thankful for my creativity and my imagination.
5. I am thankful that both of my parents are alive and well and that I get to see them on a regular basis.
