TibKat's Insight's

Facebook, the new obsession at least for those who are suckered into it. Suckers like me. I was sent "25 Random Things" to list about myself on Facebook, this I did. This list, that I spent maybe 45 minutes on, shed some light on me to me. I am a simple person. I appreciate simple things and it made me want to share or post the things I am most thankful for. Think of it as the Oscars with no one to cut you off, here goes.

1. My mother. She told me when I was in high school that she had made a list of all the things her mother had done to her when she was growing up and vowed not to repeat them when she had children, she then told me she had done every single one. We are all human, thank you for reminding me of that.

2. My son. He is the light in my day. I strive not to make the same mistakes but hope that you will always remember, I too am only human.

3. Being home. I look outside each day and give thanks that I am back. I am back with my friends, family and the seasons. (Oh, how I missed the seasons!) Thanks for bringing me home Jim.

4. My brothers & sisters. They each have touched my life and have been there for me at some of my most difficult & joyous times. I hope I have been able to reciprocate in some way through the years.

5. Our freedom. We have come such a long way as a nation, I am truly proud to be an American.

6. My past. I am so thankful for my experiences and other lives I have lead. They have helped shape me into the person I now am. A wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend. I have had many highs and lows and am so thankful I've experienced them all.

7. My teenage years. This is when I began to feel roots. I met some of my best friends but more importantly, my husband. It was this love that made me believe love does exist.

8. My love for reading. My mother helped instigate this in me. Nancy Drew, Little House on the Prairie and Anne of Green Gables.

9. My faith. Faith in this world, faith in one another, faith in my friends, faith in my family, faith in God.

10. Laughter. I believe we both find our selves laughing whole heartily at least once a day with Xander in our lives. I love to laugh!

11. Jim. I am so thankful that he is in my life, in our sons life. He is a deeply caring husband, father and friend. He is my "Buddha" and helps bring peace in to my life when all I see is chaos.

12. The Glad Game.
