Thanksgiving draws near…

But I’m grateful all year.

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, the things I’m grateful for come readily to mind, and I’m renewing my vow to tell the people in my life how much they mean to me throughout the year.

I am incredibly grateful for my husband’s love and partnership. After his accident this fall, I feel immensely thankful that he is alive and healthy. I am lucky to have two amazing sons, who support my reader, writer, full-time mom life. I love supporting them as they navigate the world and take on more responsibilities as they get older. I’m thankful for the time I have during the school day to volunteer or focus on my writing goals. I’m grateful for all my family and friends, near and far, in real life and online, who make this world a little brighter with their presence.

As we enter the busy holiday season, I plan to keep myself grounded in thankfulness. This is a time for hope, love, peace, compassion, and generosity.

Happy Holidays to all!
