Mommy What Does It Mean To Me Analysis

It 's that time of the year, and while I know food takes center stage for the Thanksgiving holiday, this is also a time where we reflect on the things we are grateful for. Like most bloggers and on-line magazines, I am giving you my gratitude list.

1. Life. Waking up every day. Lets face it, if we didn 't wake up, we couldn 't be grateful for anything.
2. My family
3. My friends
4. Freedom. Living in a country that not only gives me rights, but ensures ways to make sure that I can protect them. Not every country can say they have the same rights that we do. I 'm grateful for those who serve our country so that we can maintain our freedom.
5. Writing as a form of art and expression.
6. Feeling safe, protected, and cared for.
7. Fun, flirty,

11. Warmth on a cold night. I have a heater. I have a fireplace. I have plenty of blankets.
12. Shelter. There are too many people out there who do not have homes. Far too many people sleep on streets, out in the cold. I 'm grateful to have a place to sleep that has water, heat, and electricity.
13. Beautiful flowers
14. Good photography
15. Mozart and Daisy, they always cuddle with me. They just know when I need them. I call Mozart my safe place because he 's the one that really senses changes in me. He 's the one to just cuddle right at my chest, and sleep with me.
16. Seeing others happy. Life is too short to be spent miserable, or making others miserable.
17. Nature walks because we have a planet full of beautiful creations and I don 't necessarily think we appreciate all the beauty our planet provides.
18. Deep conversations. These are the types of conversations that really help you get to know someone.
19. Good food, because some of the best times we share with others is when we are indulging in lavish spreads while laughing and engaging in small talk.
20. Being heard and understood.
21. Creating memories
22. Good health
23. Music. Of all the artistic expressions, personal writing aside, music speaks to my heart
