make an "I'm thankful for..." post and make sure that everyone knows that I love them & I am thankful for having them in my life

I know I still need to do this…I haven’t forgotten about it. Truthfully I just get very emotional every time I try and I can’t bring myself to finish it. :’( so much emotion.

this is something I should do more than just for tomorrow…it’s a goal I actually did almost daily before. But this year I’ve realized a lot of things just within the last few days. I feel I need to let my children see why we should be thankful this year & well everyday. We have SO much even though to them it may not seem like it. We have a warm home…we have food in our pantries, freezers, & frides…we will have loved ones near for a few hours tomorrow to celebrate & enjoy the day…we may not have the $$ around for all the game consoles & cell phones you want but we have more than a lot of people right now and I want them to realize that.

My youngest son took a bunch of canned & boxed foods to school yesterday, as I was coming home (we live across the street from the school) I saw one of the families who got a box of food from all the donated items. They were so happy, and I cried. I didn’t give them junk or stuff we had just sitting there it was our foods. But to them it was a better Thanksgiving then they might of had if they didn’t win that box of items. Even though I felt good knowing it was going to a family who needed it, I felt a great deal of sadness I just wish there was more we could do.

We also already plan to donate our Turkey I get every year from my employer at Christmas time. I know there’s a shortage on Turkeys this year and we can definitely spare ours.

So my “I’m thankful for…” post is coming…later tonight or even tomorrow morning. Right now…I have to distract myself as I’ve been in tears thinking of that family from yesterday. I’m an emotional fool…I know. :] but you can’t say I don’t have a big heart. haha I find room for damn near everyone in it!!
