Thankful, Grateful, Blessed

On this Thanksgiving, I wanted to share what I am thankful for. This year has been hard! Between dealing with COVID in our home, virtual school, work from home, a missed first varsity baseball season and missing many other events we usually attend it was very difficult for the kids and for me as well. We can all look back at this year and think how terrible it is but right now, I am not going to do that. I am lucky that I have my wonderful family. It takes a village to raise children and I have the best village around. I am grateful that even though I have been locked in my room working, I am able to stop and help my children when they are stuck trying to learn virtually. I am fortunate enough to still have a job and continue to support my family the way they need. I am so happy I was able to watch my Daniel play baseball and continue to grow into the young man he has become. I am so proud to watch them both learn how to navigate the virtual world and check email every day which is something that we never knew they would have to do in high school. I am grateful for the friends and family supporting me as I ran my first half marathon by myself. I am thankful that everyone continues to be healthy. We are blessed to have delicious food on the table. Most of all I am thankful for the family and friends I have who have been in my life to listen to me, help me, support me and love me. I would not be the person I am today without everyone in my life. 

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving even if it is much different than last year!

The more you are in a state of gratitude, the more you will attract things to be grateful for.
