52 Weeks of Gratitude. Week 51

Week 51: 100 Things to be thankful for.

In no particular order of importance, other than number one, of course!!

1.) My husband, who has been my rock in my darkest hours, who has been my light in my brightest ones, who is my entire life, and I don’t know what I’d do without him.

2.) For my family. Biological, non-biological, in-laws, all of them! They have all had a hand in shaping me to become the woman I am today, and I will always be eternally grateful for each and every one of them, and the roles they have played and will continue to play in my life.

3.) Friendships. I can count on one hand the number of true friends I have, and I am beyond blessed to know each one of them.
