Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying their turkey day, mine will be spent at work, but I will be enjoying the traditional food coma at my mom's house after work. This really has been the month from hell, pushing me to the brink mentally,emotionally, physically and financially. After everything that's happened this past month it gives today that much more meaning, beyond the football games and Macy's Holiday parade. Even though I am at work today while most are enjoying their turkey dinner's at home, and I am missing Mya's 1st Thanksgiving, I am thankful I have a job, a GREAT job with great benefits and co workers, when many do not have one. I'm missing out on time with my two precious babies, but they are healthy and having fun with their family. I have an amazing husband who is my best friend, and feel blessed to have him when many are alone or have less than loving significant others. I actually have begun attending church, and the members are very nice and seem to be non judgemental, which is nice when you feel like the whole world is judgeing you. I wish there were less drama and stress in some areas, but I can not control or fix what others do. Sometimes people make very poor decisions that are very hurtful to people who they are supposed to treat with love and respect, but the only thing you can do is take that situation for face value so you can have peace in your life. You can only be responsible for your own actions. I'm working on finding more peace, and letting go of stress. For that I am also thankful :)
