OCC Challenge...An Attitude of Gratitude

As I was hopping along the other day, I came across a challenge that I knew I wanted to do. I found this challenge on Our Creative Corner. The challenge is to create something that expresses gratitude. Although we should do this all through the year, this is the season when gratitude seems to be more of a focus for everyone.

 I am grateful for many things. The first thing I am grateful for is the fact that I have a loving and caring God who watches over me and my family (and all of you too) even when I am not holding up to my end of things.
I am so grateful for my husband, daughter and parents.You are the BEST family in the world! I am thankful for past relationships gone as well as relationships and friendships that have worn the test of time and stay strong through the years. I am very grateful that I have had many job experiences over the years, as each has taught me new things about the world and myself...even those that didn't seem to be a good fit at the time where very important to my life's bigger picture. I am thankful for those who have been teachers and mentors to me over the years...no matter how small or larger the lesson...you were an important person to me. From the person who helped me learn to walk...my elementary art teacher...to the mentors that helped me make it through high school...the girls who taught me to stamp and color...those who now teach me new little tips and tricks...and to everyone in between...I am grateful! Thank you for being you and being a part of my life.
