It’s a very busy time for friends and family to gather together and celebrate, so my post today will just be about how thankful I am for the many blessings in my life. It’s been a wonderful and eventful year so far, and I need to say thank you to everyone in my life for the encouragement and support they have given me, especially my wonderful husband and beautiful son. I am surrounded by their love every waking moment, which allows me to give it back in abundance.
The only difficult part of this time of year is that I remember my dear father, who I wish was here physically with us to share the holidays. It’s in times like this that my mom misses him dearly, although she knows he is with us in spirit. Like me, I know she thinks about what his reactions to my son and my niece would be as they get older because she is here and able to watch them grow.
So everyone, just take a moment to remember to thank your friends and family for all the love and support they provide. But most of all, thank yourselves for who you are and your contribution to the world we live in.
Have a safe and wonderful holiday. Happy Thanksgiving!
