What are five things you take for granted?

1. The fact that I can walk. There are so many people out there that are in a wheelchair and its so sad, but they have such strength it's just amazing, they accomplish so much more than a lot of people who can walk and run or just stand on their own legs.

2. My family. I know I should be thankful to have a family who is so close, we have our fights once in a while but we are always there for each other.

3. I'm Hispanic but I'm fluent in both English and Spanish. There are lots of people I know personally that keep telling me that I have so good because I speak both languages fluently and I guess I have the best of both worlds.

4. Having children. I have 3 beautiful healthy children. Lots of people keep trying and can't get pregnant. And I wasn't even trying to get pregnant, all three were beautiful blessings that came as surprises in my life.

and last but not least...

5. My eyes. I get to see the world and all it's beauty, and I get to witness my children turning into wonderful adults. I get to see all the silly things they do and all the good and the bad things that surround us everyday of our lives.
