giving thanks for family

This past week was spent with family doing what I love most:  chatting, eating and laughing.  I'm really not sure if there is anything more important in life than family and friends.  If I had to choose between my new found mobility and my wonderful support system, I'd immediately say "It's time to go get another mobility scooter."  I guess that's why I feel like it's SO important for me to give thanks to God every night for all the special gifts he has given me.  

As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, we had a wonderful time with family.  Yes, it's a lot of work for Steve and I, but I don't think we'd want it any other way.  We love bringing a smile to kids faces by giving them a place to swim and fish as well as a tube to be pulled on behind the boat.  Sure, I had to pack extra food and linens for the week, which is more work, but as my husband says, "It's a lot of work to have fun."  And we plan on doing it again this weekend!  In the meantime, I'll continue to give thanks and count my blessings each and every day.  ​
