For blogs such as these, from which I learn more and more, healthy children, a roof over my head, our tiny city-state being sheltered and protected. And adopting a Pollyanna attitude- this morning I realised that my landline was disconnected (consequence of forgetting to pay bills on time and not having put aside the cash for it!) as upset as I was, I tried to be thankful that the husband was home; at least his mobile was a way of staying connected outside the flat. Yea, hardships are one way to be thankful for what you already have and even take for granted.

Great question, and I have so many answers!

This year, I am particularly thankful for:
- The amazing people in my life, from my hilarious and loving husband, to my wonderfully crazy and fun-loving family (in-laws and blood relatives alike!), to my fabulous friends, to my insightful and often brilliant coworkers.
- Having a job that challenges, rewards, and teaches me on a daily basis.
- Having learned a lot more about myself this year and learning to work with my personality to achieve my goals instead of fighting my personality.

I am thankful for:

- The gifts my children make for me at school.
- My kitten recovery from an almost deadly illness.
- My brother-in-laws girlfriend coming into our lives.
- Mom moving closer to us.
- my children teaching me a lesson from time to time.

But the one thing I am most grateful for is the financial hardship we dealt with the last year. We had to downsize and begin to live a simple life. This new life has humbled us and made us the happiest we’ve ever been.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
