Thankful for the decade....

What am I thankful for, for the decade?

I am thankful for
the kids it has given me
the blessings i have recieved
the smiles i was given
the awesome people i have met
the love that i have felt
the hugs after the tears
the wonderful organizations that help  many people
the USO
Soldier's Angel's
operation homefront
ASYMCA
OUR MILITARY
the strength GOD has helped me see I have
for the fact that despite the million fights hubs and I have, we are still together

I am so thankful for being alive, for being healthy enough to breathe on my own, to be able to witness a new decade, a new year, a new begining.

I am thankful that this decade is over, a decade that also brought me so much sadness, pain, hurt, and illness, i am thankful that I am where I am, good or bad, I am alive and I am thankful for that.
