Daily Thanksgiving-Home

Tonight and many nights I am thankful for my home, sometimes all I see is the improvements that need to be done or the cleaning that needs to be done. I have tried to stop more and just be grateful for the walls, roof, windows that keep us warm, dry, cool and comfortable.
I have always admired the parade of homes and often {admired} those beautiful things in people homes, but need to remember, the same things I do in my home could/would be done in a home like that. Such as teaching my children to be respectful, teaching my kids to ride their bikes the list could go on and on.
Some things I am thankful for that has to do with our home...

Ben willing to put up Christmas lights every year.
Ben trying to improve our garden every year.
Our neighbors, the nicest neighbors anywhere.
The tint on the back windows it has kind of helped with the heat.
The central air!
Getting the carpets cleaned.
Our washer and dryer still pluggin along after 13 years.
Our big tub
The bunk beds
The automatic sprinkler system
Bathrooms
Garage door opener
Being able to park in the garage
A furnace that makes my house warm......



I am so very thankful for the house that has kept us safe, protected and together as a family. It ain't perfect but its ours.
