Let's take a moment and think about our blessings.

1. My husband who reminds me every day I am not alone.
2. My health despite these tremors is a lot bettter than most of my family
3. My DH's health continuing to be pretty good
4. My dogs who are happy everytime I walk in
5. My Nanny enjoying her assisted living place right now
6. My family for being there for me when I need it most
7. My mom for being my best friend
8. My husband's stepmother's cancer going into remission
9. Being able to run, cycle and play like a kid still!
10. Having had the people lost this year in my life. Sheesh and Aunt Shirley brought me many smiles, I am thankful for having known them!

I hate to rank any of my blessings, because there are at least 10 that all carry the most weight for me! But one thing that stands out is that my unborn grandson has made it to the 30 weeks mark, the same point where his big brother was born, and is already about 3 lbs 5 oz, which is half a pound more than his brother weighed at birth. And all of that with no complications whatsoever. Can't wait to meet him!

Karen- That is great news!!

I would say my list rotates. Somedays I am most introspective and thankful for people recently lost. Somedays it is my mom, somedays my husband. When my dogs are being unruly they fall off the list briefly.

My biggest blessing to date - that my husband and I crossed the finish line at El Tour together - five years after his very grim cancer diagnosis. He rode 35 miles. I was trying to not cry.

How wonderful! I love that picture.

In no particular order. . .

** I'm alive. That was quite a scare I had this fall.

** My girls are doing well in their studies/lives.

** I have a home, however over-full it is with Stuff

** DH is healthy and reasonably secure in his job - which he likes.

** My extended family really cares for one another. With five siblings, that's something of a feat.

** My co-workers at the rehab hospital really seem to care for me.

I'm sure there is more, but those are which come leaping to mind.
