Can you name 5?

[tinkerbellybutton]

OK, so maybe I'm just having an emotional evening but as I was sitting at the beach of Fort Popham this evening with my best friend, who as luck would have it, is also the love of my life, with the fog rolling in, the seals playing in the surf and DS building a fort with driftwood it struck me how wonderfully blessed I am. Not only do I have that scenery right out my back door that people drive hundreds of miles to see but I have the most wonderful people in the world to share it with. I realize that sometimes I get bitten by the " why me" bug as most people do but I wanted to make a list of things that I'm blessed with so I just figured, silly as it may be that if anyone else is interested, list five things that you are blessed with.

Me first
1. Being blessed not only with children, but MY children.
2. Even though I have to scrimp and save to make ends meet, I have something to scrimp and save.
3. Finding my true love, not once but twice in this lifetime.
4. Having been born to two parents who loved each other forever.
5. Having wonderful friends who are there for me and who can count on me to be there for them.

For me I can come up with three right off the bat ...

1. My wife
2. My daughter
3. My son

I have an amazing family ... I truly am blessed in that respect. I'm also very fortunate to live a very comfortable life. My family has more than enough to meet all of our needs and that's a rare gift.

I love this post! So here goes...

1. My husband who is my best friend and the love of my life. I am so lucky to have a man who always puts his family first!

2. My parents who raised me to be the person I am today.

3. My faith which helps me get through tough times and makes my life so much better.

4. My family- other than my parents I have awesome siblings, granparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, etc. who are always there for me.

5. I have wonderful friends who are there for me through thick and thin and who I love like they are family.

I am so blessed that I really could go on and on, but I'll stop there!

2. My DH of almost 20 yrs this upcoming Dec.

3. My 3 beautiful children. I'm so proud of each of them.

4. The roof over my head and food on the table. So, many people can't afford this.

1. Jesus Christ who, despite my sinfulness, choose to die for me so that I could live with Him forever.

2. My Husband- he is my best friend. He loves me more than I can comprehend. He is the most loving, unselfish person that I know.

3. My children- I am so proud of them. There is no place that we go where someones does not tell me how polite and well behaved they are.

4. My friends- I can call on any day, anytime. The would give me the shirt off their backs if I needed it.

5. My family has NEVER gone to bed hungry. We have ALWAYS had a roof over our heads (with A/C and heat), a car to drive, bills paid, running water, clothes, shoes...

[Hayden's Dad]

1. My wonderful wife (my Best friend, sould mate, support structure, inspiration)

2. My Son. As many of you know Hayden is very sick, but is also proof that miracles are real. He will be celbrating his 2 and a half birthday on July 10 and he wasn't supposed to be here long enough to celebrate his Second birthday.

3. Our Hospice team. We have such a wonderful team from Hayden's nurse to our social worker they all love and adore him and us and do everything possible to make sure Hayden and us are as happy as possible.

4. Our family. We have a large family and they all love and support us even if some of them have a weird way of showing it.

5. The fact that so far we have been able to take Hayden to Walt Disney World 3 times in the past year and all while only living on my salary, as my DW stays home to take care of Hayden. We are planning on taking him through MAW latter this year and hopefully will be taking him on his THIRD birthday on January 10!
