Things I am thankful for: I am thankful for my daughter. Without her I don't know where I would really be. I am thankful for my parents. They have always been there for me through every up and down situation I have ever experienced. They always give me that support and advice that I need at the moment. I am thankful for my brother and his family. He would drop anything and help if I needed him. I didn't always show him how much I appreciate and love him, but do now that we are older and have our own family's. I am thankful for my health. I have always been healthy and so has my family. I am very thankful for that. I am thankful for my daughter's daddy. We may have some of our own issues right now but that doesn't change the fact that he is a wonderful father to his children. I am thankful for my step daughter. She is the sweetest little girl ever. She has been the best big sister a child could ever ask for. She is like a little second momma for the little one. There is an eight year age difference, so she is a great help. I am thankful for the chance to get to go back to school and get an education. Thankful that I have a support system behind me to help me get through school. I am thankful for my friends that I have made over the years and have always been there for me. I am thankful for my aunt that is always there for me. She has listened to me and all my problems over the years and always gives me the best advice. I always like to hear her opinion and feel that she is probably always right whether I want to admit it at the time or not. I am thankful for the area we get to live in and raise our family. I love the Ozarks. It really is a beautiful area. There are so many things to be thankful for. This is a small list of some of what I am thankful for in life.
