This was a couple years ago in our front yard. D-boy loves when the pilot rakes up the leaves so he can run in them. This year we watched our new puppy go crazy running around through the leaves. We have 3 huge trees and the leaves are insane every year. I could easily gripe and moan about helping with this chore, but instead I get to watch my sweet boy run through the leaves with a huge smile on his face.
My friend and I talked about being happy tonight. We both know people who have that sense of entitlement and that their life is so unfair. Its not that I think their aren't those out there who have it rough, I just believe that we have it within ourselves to be happy. Happiness is a choice, just like being angry is a choice. I have my grumpy days and trust me I've been frustrated and upset. But I have more reasons to be grateful for the life I have with my family. When the pilot was sick, I was even more thankful for every day and every moment he was here. I think now that he is healthy I need to have that same outlook. I don't ever want to forget the wonderful gift of life my best friend gave him. She told me that she was not just doing it for him but for our family. Their will never be enough words or love that I can show her to let her know just how thankful I am. She saved my pilot's life. So this Thanksgiving, I will remember to be thankful for this life and for each day I get to spend with my amazing family.
