giving thanks..

You've probably experienced going around the Thanksgiving table and everyone having to say what they're thankful for. I do this every year...its a tradition...everyone has to mention at least ONE thing they're thankful for. This year, Andre won't be with me during Thanksgiving, he wants to be with his father. I wasn't too accepting or needless to say HAPPY with his decision [rolling my eyes], BUT let's just say that it didn't quite take me by surprise either!

My sister, Nuria and her family, have rented a cottage up in Sarasota, Florida which is by the beach. She invited Antonio and I to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with them...I agreed...cuz goodness knows, I have NO business getting depressed and messing up Antonio's Thanksgiving. We will be heading out early Thursday a.m. I am in charge of the desserts, libations and I will be bringing my karaoke machine with me. HA HA HA

Well, being that I won't be breaking bread with you guys, here's my list of the things I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving 2006.

I am thankful for/that:

1. I have been blessed with two healthy, handsome, intelligent sons...they are everything to me...even though Andre isn't with me--physically--he's in my heart, mind and spirit.

2. A loving, caring and giving familia....

3. I'm a healthy chica...

4. My home...

5. I am able to live in a country that lets me speak my mind, live in freedom and debate the great issues of the day without fear or oppression...

6. I have a wonderful circle of friends that love me for me...

7. I can express myself--I love blogging!!

8. My relationship with God, my heavenly Father...

9. All of my Internet buddies, friends, playmates, and pals that are near and far...

10. Everyday is a new day..
