Thanksgiving is just a few days away. With everything that goes on in my day to day life it can be all too easy for me to forget just how good I have it. I often find myself comparing my life to others, wishing I had things that I think I “need” in order to be happy. The truth is I have so, so many blessings in my life. So much to be thankful for. Including:
My health
My amazing, loving, kind husband. The best father I know.
Hermione, who astounds me with her passion and creativity each and every day.
Portia, who makes me laugh, impresses me with her independence, and still lets me snuggle her like a baby.
Doug’s health.
