Happy to give thanks.

With all that is going on surrounding me, I am finding time to be greatful for what i have. So easy to lose focus, but i drive on. I am very happy with my self for the way i live my life. I wish everyone felt this way, and i often forget people dont. Its hard to remember that not everyone can be as healthy as i am, if im even healthy at all. (I think i am)
I have begun to integrate myself into a side of my family that has never been my family. The Simpson's. Alot going on there, but they have been outgoing enough to let me in. Mixed feelings about my involvement with them, but i drive on. If i dont need anything from my father, i cant be let down. As sad as that is, its the way it is, so i dont get down about it. The are there for me right now, in a sense.
My kids are doing great! And, they are awesome. The coolest people in my life. I enjoy my time with them, especially since i know they wont be constantly in my life for too much longer. Their grades are up, activity and moral levels are high, and I feel great about the people they are turning into. Well, except for Faith...she's spoiled. Kinda a going away present for Tina. HEHE.
I am doing Thanksgiving dinner for just me and the kids. No family visiting this year. Sad really, i really could use some, but i drive on. Its going to be great! I hope. Kinda intimidated by cooking an entire holiday meal alone, so wish me luck.
I hope all of you (my followers atleast) have a wonderful holiday. My prayers and hopes are with you, though i am not. Gobble-Gobble.
