#redballoonsforryan

Earlier today as I was scrolling through my Instagram feed I came across picture after picture of the most adorable fire cracker red headed little boy. His name is Ryan and he was hit and killed by a car on Friday. As I was reading about this tragic event I looked down at my precious little boy and held him a little closer. This happening has reminded me that things could be worse. I have been blessed with the most amazing gift, I get to be a mother. I get to raise a child. Sometimes we all need to remind ourselves that although we may not have picture perfect lives, we always have something or someone to be thankful for. 

I am thankful for having a roof over my head
I am thankful to be employed.
I am thankful for my mom. I wouldn't be where I am today without her. 
I am thankful for my sweet, precious baby boy Landon. 
I am thankful that Landon is happy, healthy, and well provided for. 
I am thankful he has an amazing father in his life. 
And most importantly, I am thankful to be alive.
