I however feel like it's extremely important that we remind ourselves what we have, not what we want, or don't have. Sometimes reading blogs can fuel a flame of discontent, for me at least, with material things, home aesthetic, etc. I try my best to avoid fashion blogs, or too heavily saturated blogs with sponsored products, simply because I more then likely will want it, and with a spending fast and trying to separate my attachments from material things, and in our family, those blogs tend to make me want more then what I need and not appreciate what I have enough.
Chuck Palahniuk says it pretty well: "Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need."
I am thankful for:
impromptu hide and seek games with Mara.

the hugs from Portie when I scoop him up after he wakes up from nap and buries his head in my shoulder.
a husband willing to wake up at three in the morning to go work lifting heavy, heavy stuff all day long.
I am blessed to have:
gas in our minivan to get Dan to and from work, and to treat me to an after work ride to get out of the house.
a comfy futon to relax on when the babes finally go to sleep.

four pillows all to myself in our king size bed.

I thought it would be really positive to blog regularly year round about
what I am thankful for or blessed with. If you want to share what you
are thankful for, please do so. I would love to read!
