Time for a quick thank you...

Might seem a little backwards but it's Christmas time and I'm thinking about what I am thankful for. The list is pretty endless but I'll do my best to include as much as I can think of...

My cats-

That's one of my cats on top of my head while I'm blogging

I'm thankful for my cats because they always love me, no matter how I look or feel. They are constant companions who can always make my day brighter.

My family-

My husband, me, my mom and my little brother

My dad and stepmom

My family-in-law

I'm thankful for my family. Without them I wouldn't have strength.

My (almost) health- Without it, I wouldn't be going anywhere. I've learned that very well these past few days of being sick with a cold.

My Job- It came when I most needed it and I love it and all the people that I work with.

My writing- Though I've been on hiatus trying to adjust to my new job, it's still my first love. I can't wait to start back up in the new year with a brand new story!

My blog- And that means all of you followers! This has been one of the most interesting adventures I've ever taken and I've met so many wonderful people along the way. From the publishers to the commenters, I couldn't have done it without you all!

The Authors- Thanks to the ones I've read, the ones I've interviewed, the ones I've looked to for inspiration, the ones wrapped tightly under my Christmas tree and all the ones I haven't discovered yet. It is because of you that my passion might someday turn into a real novel in my hands. All of you paved the way and let me into your imaginations to discover worlds and people I never even dreamed about. That is quite a gift!

But most of all, I'm thankful for...

My husband

His junior prom, my sophomore year. The time when it all began.

Our wedding, almost a year ago

Because he is my heart and soul. It's been a wonderful year of marriage and almost 8 happy years together. Without you, I am nothing!

So what are your gifts this Christmas?
