Top Ten Things I Am Thankful For
Quote Addicts

I would like to share with all of you just some of the things I happen to be the most thankful for. Some of these are big things and others are small, but these are what make up my personal list of things that I happen to be very thankful for every day, day in and day out! I hope you like and enjoy them! So here i my top ten things that I am thankful for! I hope you all had a happy holiday!

1. I am thankful for my kids.

My kids are my life! Little bundles of joy, even though they were surprises I would not ever change a thing. My babies are happy cheerful little ones, and not to mention good little ones as well!

2. I am thankful for my boyfriend.

My boyfriend is beyond amazing. He is sweet, kind, and caring. He is also the best father! I got lucky in that department!!

3. I am thankful for my little cousins.

Mary, Ella, and Adam. Mary is the oldest, she is seven years old! Ella is the middle child; she is five years old. Lastly Adam is the youngest, he is 20 months old.These guys are awesome and very goofy! Not to mention they love to run around and do a lot of educational activities.

4. I am thankful for my Aunts, Uncles, Mom, and Dad.

My parents can be pretty awesome at times! As well as my Aunts and Uncles, they all are always there to support me in whatever is happening around me or within my life.

5. I am thankful for clean water.

One of the many reasons I am thankful for this, is because Flint, Michigan has not had clean water in a very long time, as well as other countries around the world. I am thankful to have clean, safe, and edible water. I am grateful to be able to take decent showers, drink water, and cook with it, as well as making sure I can make formula for my daughter, and give my son water for when he is not feeling well and cannot hold down milk.To learn more please go to: http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/04/us/flint-water-crisis-fast-facts/

6. I am thankful for my boyfriend’s Mom and siblings.

They can be a very goofy bunch, and are always so sweet and nice to me! I am happy I picked a good family to have my children a part of, I could not ask for anyone, or anything better!

7. I am thankful for handmade gifts.

Handmade gifts are the best, and most thoughtful. To me handmade gifts are the coziest and warmest gifts of all (especially blankets!!) handmade gifts usually (depending what it is) takes a bit of time to makes, therefore to me they are more genuine, although I do like store bought as well if you are not the crafty type!

8. I am thankful for having others who can give my children things they need.

Being on a tight budget can be hard with little ones, but I am lucky to have had friends and family give us clothes and things like high chairs, books, swings, and bouncers. Even though they were not brand new, I was appreciative. Especially when we had our daughter, because we were NOT expecting a she! (Was told we were having another little boy) and it was a delightful surprise, but yet, we had nothing for her.Also for new Mommies and Daddies, it is okay to accept help, it is not a sign of weakness! I promise!

9. I am thankful for being able to go to college and work towards my dream of becoming a teacher.

Although it is online schooling, it is tough, and I am glad I can do it from home, and not be away from my kids and daily duties.

10. I am thankful for my nephew.

Josiah is four years old, and a sweet, lovable, kid! He loves big, and smiles even bigger! I love my little man and I am so happy he is in my life.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
