I haven’t posted for quite sometime, never stopped being grateful, just haven’t posted!  :)  This weekend is a time to celebrate our patriarchs and our love for them and family, so that is my theme for today, mixed in with gratitude for other things in my life as well.

“The Family is the Country of the heart. There is an angel in the Family who, by the mysterious influence of grace, of sweetness, and of love, renders the fulfilment of duties less wearisome, sorrows less bitter. The only pure joys unmixed with sadness”

Giuseppe Mazzin

I am so grateful for my family whether they are family by blood or brought in by love.

I am grateful for my father the patriarch of our family and all he has taught us.

I am so grateful for my job and my coworkers.

I am so grateful for my new gym and my great trainer who is helping me get smaller and healthier!!

I am so grateful for all the love in my life, familial, romantic, friendly and even the love for those I may not personally know.

I am grateful for the money that comes to me and being able to use it to better my life, my family’s life and even the lives of those I don’t know but that I give to through charity.

I am grateful for all in my life, even when things are tough, life is good because it is filled with blessings and love!!!
