There's been so much going on since I last wrote, I don't even know where to start. There's so much swirling around in my head (and heart) right now I don't know where to begin. But Thanksgiving is coming up, so being Thankful is always a good place!
I am so Thankful that I have a job in Mahomet schools....not full time, but at least I'm working and meeting people, and have my rather large"foot in the door", so to speak, :):)
I am Thankful to be able to work in my kids' schools, and be home when they get home. I'm thankful to have such a fulfilling job, a job that I can actually see the kids learning, and the little light bulbs in their brains going on!
I am thankful for happy, healthy children. I love each and every one more than words could ever express, and 4 out of 6 have consented to coming home for Thanksgiving despite the "step parent issues" that still exist. (More on this later....but not in my "Thankful" blog.) Right now I will say that I am Thankful to be able to host my entire family for Thanksgiving.
I'm Thankful for my parents. So many people my age have lost their parents, and I am so thankful that they are still here to not only celebrate the holidays, but just to be in my life daily. Love you mom and dad.
I'm thankful for my sis and brother in law and all of my crazy little nieces and nephew. I'm even thankful for the "almost in-laws" I have in Jason's family. Love you all!
I am thankful that I am healthy and happy, and went through a horrible, trying time in my life, and am still here to talk about it, no worse for the wear, just older and wiser..... and I am very thankful for my best friend, the man who helped me through it. I am thankful for Shanon, my husband. No one really realizes what he does not only for me, but also for the kids every single day. I can honestly say, as the person who takes care of everyone, all the time, I have never been taken care of by another human being (aside from my parents, obviously) the way that he takes care of me every day, and I know that I don't say thank you enough to a person who always puts me first. So thank you, baby. I love you.
Now.... I guess that I should say that although I'm thankful for all I've been given, I am still struggling with certain relationships. I don't want to call anyone out specifically, or make anyone mad, so I'll just say that I'm constantly praying for healing for my family. I really thought that by now, we would be healed, as a family, and moved on, but again, I guess it's not meant to happen on my timeline. God will answer my prayers in His time...I just wish he'd hurry up!!! I don't know what else to do, other than pray....
As I'm writing this blog, so much is flowing into my mind...but for now I want to give thanks. I am so grateful for all that I have..... another day, another blog.... I will catch everyone up on life in Tracy's world....but today I am just Thankful..... and I'm thankful for my many friends, and the lives my writing has touched.
Even when life is not perfect, we have so much to be thankful for...not just in November...but every day!!!!
Life's short. Buy the shoes ;)
