Thankfullness

I am THANKFULL for so many things this year

I am thankful for my parents and family and close friends (back home) who have been so supportive of my move here to Paris! It truely would not have been the same if I didn't have all the love and support back home.

I am thankful for all my friends and family who have written me cards or mailed me packages since I have been here. That means the world to me. (speaking of, i received THREE today in the mail... thats awesome!)

I am thankful for God and all that he has done in my life, from providing the smallest wants to the largest necessities. That he gave me such a wonderful dream and has fulfilled it to the fullest. I am thankful that I can go to him with anything and he provides for me and listens to me and loves me, despite what I am going through!

I am thankful for my church here. My experience would not be the same or as enjoyable if it weren't for that blessing!

I am thankful for the family I work for. It may not always be my ideal situation (although its a great one) but they have done so much for me and provided me with a job to be able to live here.

I am thankful for: knitting, living in the suburbs, skype, warm winter coats, cameras to capture memories, metros, fresh baguettes, 5-star breakfasts, friends who let me stay with them every weekend, my blackberry (and I say this because of BB messenger and WhatsApp which allows me to keep in touch with people in the US a lot easier), hugs, and the ability to go home for NYE!

I am so thankful for this time of the year and this season of my life and where I am and what all I have accomplished and to be able to realize how blessed I am by the people in my life and that without them, life would not be as much fun!!!

I hope this week as you go through each day, you remember where you are, what you have and who you have around you and are able to find something to be thankful for in the midst of all the fastpaced lives and busy-ness that we are surrounded with daily!

Have a HAPPY TURKEY DAY everyone! Me
