I’m thankful for my friends,  the confidants, the ones I just know I could be related to, the ones who make me laugh, and the ones who show me grace when I fall short.

I’m thankful for my children, my healthy, funny, spirited children who bring me new challenges and joys every day.

I’m thankful for my parents, who took parenting seriously, taught me to look on the bright side, look people in the eyes, and also offered me lots of grace (with a side serving of discipline).

I’m thankful for my husband, one of the least selfish, most centered people I know.

Really thankful.

And you?
