Well, it's the day after Thanksgiving and since I didn't get to be here yesterday I'll post today. I have many many things to be thankful for. Sometimes I don't always think about those things. But yesterday I didn't have the best thanksgiving that I ever had. Michael had to work. It was really hard being thankful yesterday when my other half isn't even able to spend time with his family on Thanksgiving. You see he doesn't usually have much time off so it would've been nice to spend that time with him. He had to go to work to feed 20 college kids dinner. I can understand, but I guess I just felt a little cheated. Oh well, because I'm just thankful that he had a job to go to. You see it was just about two months ago that his former job called him one morning and told him not to come in anymore. He didn't have a job anymore. So we went for about a month and a half without income. I looked for a job too in case something were to come open sooner for me. However, it didn't and God blessed him with another job. So I'm thankful that my husband had a job to go to. Also, I'm thankful that he will be getting holiday pay on top of what he made regularly yesterday. Which means for about 5hrs yesterday he'll be getting paid double of what he usually gets paid. That will help us out during this Holiday season. IT's amazing how these things work out. I'm also thankful that I had family to spend the time with. I could've been somewhere where no one was around and had to spen Thanksgiving with me and just the kids. Although that wouldn't have been terrible either. Anyway, what do you have to be thankful for? CAn you find something to be thankful for even if the circumstances aren't what you hoped for? I'm thankful that he will be getting a week off for Christmas and this extra pay will take care of the bills that would be effected by that week. Think of what you have not what you don't have and things always get a little bit brighter. They did for me!
