Here's the post again..
I know posted on this same topic around Thanksgiving but here I go again...be thankful!
I found myself stressed this morning because of money- I can't get everyone what I want to get them and I know my family has similar stresses as well. The service dept at the dealership where my BIL works burned a month or so ago so his income has been cut b/c he isn't able to bill for the hours he used to get- he's the service manager. So I know my sister is stressed about Christmas and money as well.
But....instead of being stressed about what I don't have- I've realized that I need to be thankful for what I am blessed to have. I have my health, family, a house, dogs, a job, someone in my life that cares about me and some amazing friends (including my wonderful Nesties).
At my job I've already seen 2 of my favorite patients pass in the past 2 weeks and my pastor passed away last Friday (he was 58- no known health issues and left behind 3 beautiful daughter all in their early 20's). Please, no matter how crazy, be thankful for your family and friends that you surround yourself with. There are so many that are without those people this season and would give all the gifts in the world just to have them back.
I feel like I'm being sappy here but I think we all get going so fast sometimes that we don't realize that tomorrow is not always guaranteed.
Love you guys! Happy holidays!

Thank you so much for the reminder. I've had a crappy couple of days but, this really helped me to realize how much I do have. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family - they're what is most important.
Thanks for the post!
