I have been writing a 365 day blog about being thankful One day I couldn't find anything to write about but it hit me what i was thankful for as I was typing.

Today I am having a hard time thinking about thankfulness. I have had a bad few days. yesterday, Olivia had a car accident, first one. the car looks like an accordion. All of the air bags went off. As I am writing this I am thinking that I am completely thankful that she walked away with only a few bruises. I am also thankful that a man driving by pulled her out of the car because the door was stuck and she couldn't get out. The other two men in the accident did not help her at all. The man who helped her out gave her his cell phone to use to call me. Later last night, he called to see how she was. He was the kindest, nicest man ever. I am thankful for his kindness and his caring. He spoke to Olivia for about 15 minutes telling her that he cried when he told the story to his wife because he was so worried about her. I am thankful to this man with my entire heart. Thankfulmomoffive.blogspot.com
