Being Thankful.

Saturday, December 3rd, 2011

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday ,ate some good food and had some happy family moments. My Thanksgiving was cool, we ate, watched the parade, played with toys, went for a walk and ate some more. It was a good day. I didn’t get too many pictures because Jackson was having an off day, I think he’s getting some molars and that makes for a cranky baby.

This year has had more ups than downs and I am so grateful for that. I thank god everyday for my baby, my family , my friends and my life. I know there are people out there who have nothing and noone and I don’t take my life for granted. Sure I have my bad days but I snap out of it knowing tomorrow is a new day and another chance to be happy and to make the ones I love happy and for that, I am thankful.

Last weekend me, my mom, Jackson and my sister went to the annual flea market they have in Richmond Town , which is not too far from my house. Staten Island isn’t really known for their flea markets and I’ll tell you why…they kinda suck. There was only a handful of good vendors selling vintage furniture, knick knacks and linens. I did happen to get a a couple of vintage place mats for 5 bucks and a pair of pants for Jackson for a dollar so that was a win. The weather was beautiful, the sun was shinning and there was a cool fall breeze that I’ve been waiting for. I love hoodie weather. Now if only it wasn’t 85 degrees outside again…
