Happy Thursday, friends! Every Thursday I share what I'm thankful for. Sometimes it's a serious or big thing and sometimes it's a goofy or small thing. I believe that no matter what is going on in our lives there is always something to be thankful for. Always.
Today I'm thankful for the gift of being a mom to Sean and Erin. I've had a lot of jobs in my life and the most challenging yet rewarding job has been motherhood. When they were growing up, there were days when I wished my name wasn't Mom, and I really wondered what I was thinking when I wanted kids! Many days I felt like such a failure and just knew I had screwed them up for life. But there were just as many days that my heart swelled with love and pride. There were days when I couldn't believe how blessed I was to have these two and I just wanted to hold them close to me forever. They are all grown up with their own lives and I'm so happy that my name is Mom, and having kids was one of the best decisions I've ever made!
I'm also thankful for
* The Melting Pot (chocolate fondue to die for!)
* modern technology
* German Riesling
* sunglasses
* the beauty of spring
What are you thankful for today?
