celebrate.


I love the holiday season. The feelings they stir up inside and the crispness that swirls through the air. I love the excuse to celebrate and give thanks for all that I have. Not that I need an excuse, but gratitude always shows up around Thanksgiving. Now that my boys are growing bigger, I want to start a new tradition. I want to sit around the fire with my sweet little family and take turns expressing our thanks. My little guys [four and almost three] are old enough to take part. I want to instill in them a lasting gratitude and what a better time to start than at Thanksgiving.

I'll go first...
I am grateful that my husband is alive.
That he was not seriously hurt in his motorcycle accident.
And that my family of four is whole.
For this I am thankful.

What are you thankful for?

  5. We are grateful for the same thing!-my husband was in a car accident this spring and I am still feeling so grateful that although his car was totaled, he was totally fine. Also, so thankful for family, health, work, renters, my children and when my children go to sleep at night after a long day : )
