I have seen a lot of my friends posting gratitude for the month of November on Facebook. This is all fine and dandy but I don't want to publicize it to that point (and I'm a late starter hehe) and some of my greatest gratitude this year is also private things I don't want to make so far known. So here is a Top Ten List of things I am most grateful for:
1. I am grateful for my husband, Jeff. That he has been by my side through thick and thin (and still is)
2. I am grateful for my daughters, Kendall and Seren. I can't think of my gratitude for the blessing they are without getting tearful.
3. I am grateful to my parents. They molded who I am today through love, guidance and support. They are great examples to me and give their all for their family.
4. I am grateful to my in-laws. I enjoy spending time with them and have never dreaded a family dinner. They raised up a wonderful man and support our family.
5. I am grateful for modern medicine and ART and our fertility clinic (UCRM). If it weren't for these things my kiddos would not have been possible.
6. I am forever grateful to our donor. Even though she is anonymous I do think of her and hope that in some way she knows the enormous gratitude we owe her through her selfless gift.
7. I am grateful to be provided for. We have jobs, we have a home, we clothes on our backs and food on the table what more could we want for.
8. I am grateful for my siblings and Jeff's siblings (they should probably be higher up the list but I didn't want to renumber). I enjoy all of my siblings and I'm grateful for the things that they teach me and help they offer.
9. I am grateful for modern transportation and that it makes it easier to get things done and to actually see my family.
10. I am grateful for family traditions. I can't wait to celebrate the holiday with our families and also as a family. With that I am grateful for the reason for the season. I may still be working on my relationship towards Christ and my Heavenly Father but I know that they exist and I know that they love me no matter what.
