I don't think I'm a materialistic person.  I've noticed that I look at the flyers from the stores less.  I don't really like all of the junk that is advertised.  Who really needs a camping kitchen.

Then there are days where I find myself wanting things. Wanting more.  Often times when I get what I want, I realize that I didn't really need to spend my money on it.

There is so much that surrounds me that I have to be grateful for.  I have an amazing husband.  Two beautiful children, who I adore despite the fact that they drive me crazy half of the time.  I have amazing friends and a wonderful family that I know I can count on.  And I realize that I have a lot of people in my life who are pretty amazing and who would support me in so many ways, if I just asked.  I'm a pretty lucky person.

For this week's challenge I'm taking on being thankful for all that I have in my life.  Accepting what I have and not wanting more.  Acknowledging these great things and people in my life when I take a quiet moment to myself.  And taking the time to thank these wonderful people for what they bring to my life.  I'm going to call, write a note or send an email to at least one person every day to acknowledge the amazing person that they are.

I'm really looking forward to this week.  I can already feel that it's going to be pretty amazing.
