I signed up for the 30 Day contentment therapy sessions over on MaryEllens blog and although I've been feeling thankful and content I just couldn't put it into words until today. So here's my first Contentment post.

With the Holidays upon us and knowing that there are so many that don’t have family or simply can’t be with them all the time I’m feeling very content today in the fact that I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family that I see and talk to on a regular basis. A great husband that overlooks so many of my faults and doesn’t complain about the little things as much as I do. Two amazing daughters that have a such a inner strength about them as young women that it amazes me. My one and only son who I truly enjoy watching grow and mature in his own little ways. (He’ll always be my baby though.) A very loving mama and daddy who have always been there for us, two sisters and a brother (who I couldn't imagine not having to share things with) and my nieces and nephews who all call me AuntBB. I love them all. My hope for this season is that we can all remember the most important things aren't things at all.

  1. Loved your blog about family!!

    This will be the first Thanksgiving that I will not have any of my family around except my hubby. Buy I am content knowing I have such a loving family!

    We will have a houseful of adopted family as I love having lots of people in the house for the holidays!
