A Thanksgiving Prayer

All month long all I can think about is how blessed I am! I'm go grateful for so many things and each day there is at least one moment where I stop and thank God for something wonderful in my life. Here are some of the things that have taken my breath away recently.

• The Moon, I guess it didn't look as cool at other locations, but Aaron and I were out the other night as the moon started to peek over the horizon. It was huge and golden as it's light etched out the mountains. It was beautiful!
  
• My best friend who gets me...Aaron. He reloaded my iPod for me as a surprise and he created the best collection yet. Are you ever shocked when your husband knows you better than you do? I guess after almost 6 years together it shouldn't surprise me, but it's just cool!
  
• Our dog. He make me so happy!
• A family's love. The way my Mom loves me, the way my little sister and I talk for hours, or my brother always being able to get me to smile. I'm so impressed with how we all can come together during the Holidays or anytime. It's nice to know I'm loved, cared for, and when I need support it's right there. Aaron's family is the same way, they are always there for us when we need them, or just for a hug.
  
• A child's ability to love. My class is amazing and I have the most darling kids. Teaching has taught me one thing more than anything else. Children accept love, need love, and will always love you back. Sure it might not come in the forms of love you want, like glaring at you because you corrected a behavior, but honestly that's a great kind of love. Aaron and I have talked about adopting at some point in our lives because I really believe you can change a little life for good through your love of a child.
• Lastly, the little moments. Aaron and I just got our piano delivered to our house. We are so happy to have it here because he plays while I sing. It's simple, but it "comforts my soul deep down inside". Little moments like that where we are together, that's the best!

I know I'm early but I'm so looking forward to my personal all time favorite holiday where we give Thanks for our abundant blessings!
