Thankfulness

At what point does one sit back and say, wow, my life is amazing! I was thinking about this as I woke up this morning. I stopped and realized that yeah. My life truly is amazing. I basically have it all. A roof over my head, food to eat. I have a job...something that is hard to come by these days. 

But most of all I have my two most important people in my life...my family. Hubs is the best father any mom could ask for her daughter, very loyal and protective...she will never want for anything because he is ready and willing to give her the world.

My little princess, almost 10 months old and the apple of my eye. With each stage she is more fun, more animated. Already growing into the independent beautiful girl I know she will be. She does awesome things like talk, babble, she understands what I tell her and for the most part she listens and obeys. {Again, for the most part.} She does say no, she is crawling like a champ and lately she has started pulling herself up to a standing position. {YAY} 

I am thankful for what I have because a lot of people don't have it as good. There are a lot of people jobless, who don't know where their next meal is coming from. My heart goes out to the children who don't have both parents, or who have been afflicted by poverty, homelessness, abuse of some kind or another. I long for a time where there is no abuse against children and animals. 

I read in the paper today about a young baby who was taken to the hospital in the middle of the night due to being slashed several times. And the only man who was home was taken into custody. How can someone do that to their child? Just slash them causing them pain...

Anyone who can cause pain to children, animals or the elderly are monsters. Ganging up on defenseless people and creatures who want nothing more but to love and be loved in return is just wrong. And anyone causing pain to a child for ANY reason should have the pain inflicted on them 100 fold. 

Alright I am done ranting. Off to tend to the family. Until next time!
