WHat this Mom is most thankful for!

The turkey has yet to be carved, family has not even arrived, nor a football game watched, and I already can tell you what I will be thanking the Lord for the most this Thanksgiving. There is a saying that "you don't know what you've got till it is gone", and I know the truth of that statement. Unlike last year, I am experiencing something I have been missing for a while, LIFE. I am feeling rejuvenated and full of energy, allowing me to do little things that are taken for granted in our daily lives. Cleaning the house, cooking (at least my version) and even playing with my children used to be enormous tasks. My husband was Mr. Mom, plus instead going on dates, he took care of me. My migraines forced my life on the back burner while I spent much of my time in bed. The boys got used to the routine that had formed out of my continual illness and had to succumb to a lot of time with babysitters and not much with Mommy.
A NEW DAY HAS COME>>>:)
That was then....this is now - My boys no longer have to be quiet or turn out the lights or get used to another babysitter or ask me if I have a headache today, because they know I am well. I am not robbed of precious time with my children and husband. Rex is able to spend his time at home not having to take on more than his share of the responsibility and just being Daddy! Mommy is back! I am back to being a mother, a wife, a friend, a playmate for my kids and yes even a "maid and somewhat cook". Who knew I would be grateful for the little things like keeping a clean house?! The GUILT of not being able to be an equal participant in our family unit is gone and it has been replaced with a feeling of JOY for being whole again! God has truly blessed our family and I am eternally grateful for that! Now, I am able to catch up with family and friends that I have missed. If I have neglected you or seemed distant or "out of it" for a while, I apologize. Things are changing and the future is bright. The Lord is restoring my health and I am thanking him this Thanksgiving and everyday. So, thank you for your prayers, patience and understanding! HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! God Bless, Trish
