Today is Thanksgiving and I wanted to take a moment to tell you what I am thankful for. I’m sure many of you are gathering around the table and the TV today. Eating Turkey and watching football or maybe one of the parades. Thanksgiving is such a special time and I hope you have plenty of people you love surrounding you and making you feel special.
Without further ado My Thanksgiving List:
1. I am so thankful for my family. My husband and my boys, my mother and father (who I am lucky enough to still have in my life), my in-laws, and those people that are family through friendship.
2. I am thankful for all of those autism parents who have come before us and who have helped to heal and recover their children and ours. They are stronger than anyone could have every imagined.
3. I am thankful to all the past and present service men and women. My own father served in the Korean War, and I am ever thankful that he came home!
4. I am thankful to be an American.
5. I am so thankful that my husband has a job, and we have a home and food to feed our children.
6. I am thankful for my education. My ability to read.
7. I am thankful for my health. That I can get out of bed every morning, even when I don’t want to, and even when the coffee isn’t already made.
8. I am thankful for this blog, all the people I have been able to reach and to help because of it. I am thankful for the friends I have made through it, and those I will meet eventually.
9. I am thankful for my happy memories, from childhood into adulthood.
10. I am thankful I am loved.
11. One last thing, I’m thankful God saw fit to give us chocolate!
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving full of sweet memories. And I hope you are safe and happy and healthy!
