What are you thankful for this holiday? I'm thankful for the gift of 4 grandchildren and their ability to help me re-learn how to laugh as I cuddle them and love them. I'm thankful for my children who have taught me more about love, courage, and strength than I thought I could learn, and for the opportunity to give that back to them. I'm thankful for my family & friends who stand by me even when I'm being an I-D-10-T, for showing me patience and understanding, and for teaching me what communication means. I'm thankful for my parents who taught me to be always curious, to learn as much as I could and then learn some more, and showed me how to teach and give back to others. I'm thankful for the ability to show someone something new, for having learned patience as I grew older (wish I'd had more when I was younger!), and for looking forward to the future. Most of all, I'm thankful to my husband for showing me more love than I deserve, demonstrating more strength than I thought I could ever have, putting up with my "mom" and "wife" logic, and being my very best friend and soulmate. From my family to yours, have a happy, warm and blessed Thanksgiving.
