The Big Day of Gratitude!

Image by Tonyç via FlickrHi All,

It is here! The actual day that celebrates everything this blog is about: Thanksgiving.

I give thanks for: my wonderful family. This includes not only my husband and kids, but also my parents, my brother, and all of my other wonderful relatives. I am so very lucky to have all of you in my life.

I give thanks for my good health and for the good health of those I love.

Now it's time to enjoy a good meal together.

Thank you!

The Day Before Thanksgiving

Image by alex lichtenberger via FlickrToday is special because I'm already gearing up to be crazy/ultra/mega-thankful tomorrow, the biggest gratitude day of the whole year.

It's comforting to think about all I have to be grateful for. I wish you and yours an amazing Thanksgiving Day.

Thankful every day for health and happiness

Image by sophiea via FlickrWhen it comes to parenting, I am grateful for the smallest things, because I am only too aware of how good I have it. My children are healthy and happy. There really is nothing more important than that.

Really.

I can remember talking to an old childhood friend. She had just recently lost a dear friend of hers to cancer. And she said something along the lines of: "Our health is all that really matters."

I would only add that our happiness matters, too. After that, everything else is gravy, bonus point.
