Grateful Day 12: My Mom

I am so thankful for a mom who is involved and wants to be a part of my life.  The greatest attribute about my mom is that she is almost always positive.  Where ever she is, that is the best place to be - no matter where it is.  She always tries to encourage us to not be discouraged and not give into the disappointments of the world.  Very rarely do you see her sad or discouraged.  Even with all the many changes this year that they have had, she still chooses to be wisely optimistic and helps teach me to be that way as well. 

Since we have all living together, my boys have spent more time with her.  Many times you will hear laughter and joking coming out of her room with one or all of our boys together.  I love her very much and I admire her greatly.  She is another one of my most prized treasures.
