A Day of Thanks

Thanksgiving

One of my favorite holidays!

Not only is it a time for me to stuff my face with amazing food, it is a time with family. I am really glad that I got to see both my family (well, some of them. I missed the rest of you!) and Brandon's this year. It really makes it tough on the stomach though. Eating Thanksgiving lunch and dinner is really hard! I just eat a little less and make it work! ;) But really, the best part is reflecting on the things that I am most thankful for. Especially the things that I normally complain about! I am so blessed to have the life I do and I wouldn't trade it for the world. The trials that my little family has been through, and still are going through, are molding us into a better versions of ourselves. Without trials there is lack of progression. So yes, I am even saying I am thankful for my trials. I am so happy I have an amazing husband to go through it all with. I hope that we all can take time each day to reflect on all the good we have in our lives. Sometimes we tend to get selfish and think our lives are "the worst". In reality, any of you reading this right now has a better life than more people than you can imagine! So on this day of thanks I challenge all of you to write down all the the things in your life that you are blessed with! I bet you can't do it ;) Hands get tired. 

Count your blessings! & I hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving!

XOXO, the Cissna's
