I have decided to join Jen this year and participate in sharing my 1000 gifts by Thanksgiving. This past year has been very difficult for me. I have felt very lonely and lost. I've been in such a slump and felt I've had no where to turn. I have decided that I am the only one who can turn things around and the past few weeks have been much better. I am reminded that I am never alone, God is always with me. I think by listing what wonderful gifts I receive daily will help me to see how blessed I am. I am going to try to list all of my gifts by Thanksgiving but I don't know if I'll be able to list 1000 by then but I'll try. Here is the beginning of my list.
1. God without him I would have none of these gifts
2. My dh Larry
3. My boys
4. My family
5. My very best friends Sue and Tim
6. Still having my Grandma
7. My home
8. My brothers
9. My parents
10. Justin's love of the solar system
11. Kaden's hugs every time he has not seen me for more than 20 minutes
12. Chocolate
13. My neices and nephews
14. Laughter
15. My bloggy friends
16. Getting to homeschool
17. Returing home safely after our recent trip to the Jersey shore
18. Watching my boys run joyfully onto the beach to play in the ocean
19. Holding Larry's hand
20. Flowers from Kaden
21. Our kitty, Jupiter
22. The last little bit of summer
23. A good book

I am sorry you have felt so poorly this year...I know how that can affect your entire live...I will pray for you!
oh Michele you have already forgotten one of your 1000 gifts....YOU!! Of course I only know you through your blog but you are truly a gift to me! I love coming to your blog. I have used so many creative ideas and frugal hints that you have posted. This blog is better than Good Housekeeping Magazine! I read this more often anyway! LOL!
Dear sister, you have no idea how I have been in your exact same pair of shoes. Just know that somewhere in the state of Kentucky you are being prayed for!!! : )
Blessings,
Mia
Michele, I just want to say, "Ditto to every thing that Mia said."
I, too, have felt that same way, many times in my own life.
I am praying for you here in Crazyville, sweet friend!
You are a very blessed and special lady.
Much love,
Amy:)
I did a post yesterday and today about how my husband and I met....And today I've tagged you. Come on over if you would like to play.;)
God Bless,
Amy:)
(((HUGS))) Sending big hugs to you Michele! I'm so sorry that you have been having a rough time. I'd never know it from your blog, so I am so happy that you mentioned it so that I can pray for you. As others here have said, you are a true blessing and inspiration to me!!
I'm sorry it has been a difficult year this year Michelle- may the months ahead and the new year bring refreshment to you!
