Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It is a day spent with family enjoying a nice meal. I don’t go to stores on Black Friday, or the whole weekend for that matter. It is a time to appreciate and be grateful for the good in our lives. This year I have made a list of that which I am thankful. It reflects what at times we seem to forget or take for granted.
I am thankful for the adults who watch over my children. Teachers, bus drivers, dance instructors, cafeteria workers, aides, librarians, etc. They are dedicated and work hard to help our kids grow, mature, learn, and have fun.
I am thankful that about all other qualities, my kids are kind to others.
I am grateful for the doctors who continue to follow-up on my healthcare. It is always a huge relief to hear I am well.
I am happy that the Northeast had a wonderful Fall season. It was nice to see the leaves change color without a freak snowstorm or hurricane ruining the annual display. Many days were warm as well.
I am thankful that I had an opportunity to see many friends I have not seen in years. It is incredible how we can pick right up were we left off with lots of laughter.
I am thankful that despite its difficulties and hard times, we still live in the greatest country on earth.
Happy Thanksgiving.
