This is nice Challenge I have seen several people had started , Thanks to Judey and Linda ♥️👍.
1. I will always have a family and a friend who cares about me. Thank God for family and friends. When you check up on people and visit them even for a few minutes it makes someone’s day.
2. Food on the table. I love food wether it’s chips or just a peanut butter sandwich. I was bless to learn how to cook. I can almost make anything if I put my mind on it. Spaghetti and watermelon are my favorites.Thank God for food .
3. I love to dress up, It hard to believe but I do. I will be honest, I love shopping alone , I tend to please the person ,I am with. I might buy something that’s not my style. I go shopping and be my own pretty woman. Shopping can be exhausting now a days but imagining myself going out somewhere in those outfits, and having my own private fashion show. Thank God for the clothes I love to wear. When I am home, I like to wear less.lol
4.I will always be my daughter’s mother . I always wanted to be a mother ever since I got my first doll. My second brother was my first baby. I was three when I finally got my brother. I loved to fed him his bottle and try to carry him around. I remember this cause, my mom and step dad would get in a shouting battle and I would carry my baby brother under the bed while the battle took place. I was his protector. My daughter came along, I became her provider and I hope I thought her everything she needed to know in life. I enjoy teaching her how to write her name and ABC’s. I volunteered a lot at her school just an excused to see her more. I thought her how to cook so when she is college , she will know how to feed herself. I love the road trips we shared. I don’t see as much of her because she is now in college. I look forward to holidays just to see her so I can give her hugs. She is my Babygirl and little mama, a mom have to have a nickname for her child. Thank you ,God for my very healthy daughter.
5. Travels, I have fond memories of travel. I have been to far away places and near . It’s always good to get out of the house and go somewhere. We no ocean but lake where I live but going to the beach and listen to the waves is peaceful serenity. I have gone in the winter where the water has frozen , beautiful picture to see. I love visiting other countries but my most favorite place to go is my favorite local park with beautiful path of trees. Thank God for all my travel adventures.
6. Meeting new people. I am always sure to met new people. I am very friendly , I can start a conversation with anyone wether it’s at the hospital or a party. I love to make people smile and laugh. Little people has gone up to me and give me their cute smile .They are like little angels . Facebook, the community you met a wide range of people . I learn a lot from people on Facebook and social media. Thank God for people.
7. I am sure I will find something to read and write about. This world, there are plenty to learn and explore through reading. I share a little piece of me through my writing. Thank God for the means to communicate and to pass on what we learned to generations to come.
8. Picture taking, thank God for smart phones, I don’t need to buy film anymore just to capture precious moments. I would be a millionaire for all the pictures I have taken in my lifetime.
9. My health , my health may not be perfect but I am able to do things that I always wanted to do. Dance, eat , talk , read, sing and pray. Need I say more? I might be hospitalized now and then I just stop everything and believe God will get me better so I can do the things I love to do again.
10. I am sure there will always be music. Music bring color and understanding. I cannot imagine the world without music. They say in heaven music is non stop. I cannot go a day without listen to music or sing a tune. My first song I learned growing up , Let the Sunshine In. Thank God for music.
I only wrote ten things I am thankful for but there are plenty if I really think hard. Thank God for always giving me a home no matter where go in the world and thank you God for getting me through for all the lesson in life.
I hope you , yes you . 🥰😉😎 I hope you can write ten things you are thankful for and tag me in . God Bless , always 🙏🏽

Thank you for sharing your gratitude and reminding us to appreciate the blessings in our lives. Your words are a beautiful expression of gratitude and a testament to the power of positivity and appreciation.
We can't ignore that there are things in the world that scare us or make us want to shy away. But when it all gets too much and we feel the dark creeping in to take over, it's focusing on the things we are greatful for that helps us feel like we are ok again ❤️ A beautiful piece
What an wonderful insight into blessings we sometimes don't think about. It certainly reminded me to be thankful!
Reading this put a smile on my face. Sometimes, in our busy lives, we tend to miss out on things. So this is a good way to reflect!
