Thanksgiving week

I really have a lot to be thankful for this week. I have a loving husband, two awesome children(plus an almost son-in-law who is awesome as well), the best parents a person could ask for, and friends and family who are the most caring people I know. I am choosing thankfulness and happiness through this minor bump in the road. I was really happy that 102.5 started their Christmas music this week. I saw all of the posts on face book and how some people like it and others don't and my students in homeroom have to listen to it in the morning(they were quite vocal about it, but obliged!). Christmas music makes me happy, so I listen to it even before Thanksgiving. I am thankful this year that the cancer was found early, but that is because I am privileged to have a job where yearly screenings are part of our days that we are allowed to take off from work. I am fortunate that my husband carries our insurance and it covers the cost of yearly screenings. I will be able to financially handle the appointments and treatments as well as have the days available to me to do the treatments and doctors visits. I am blessed beyond belief. So, I encourage you to look at your circumstances this week and find the positive in them even if it is just hearing Christmas music that makes you smile. Choose Thankfulness!
