Thankgiving

I know I am a couple of days late, but I want to note what I am thankful for. I am thankful first and foremost for my family. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family. I am blessed with two wonderful, handsome, healthy boys and I thank my lucky stars for that every day. I am also thankful for a husband who is by my side helping me. He is a terrific father, and I love him dearly.

I am thankful for my friends and extended family. I am grateful for all that they have given to me.

I am thankful for a wonderful job that provides me with the flexibility I need to raise a righteous family.

I am especially grateful for good health. My brother came home from the hospital today and I am so happy for him and his family. I wish him a speedy recovery. He has a long road ahead, but I want him to know we are here for him.

Past quotes of the week~

"When you get into a tight place and everthing goes against you, 'til it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn." ~Harriet Beecher Stowe
"Almost all the ideas we have about being a man or being a woman are so burdened with pain, anxiety, fear and self-doubt. For many of us, the confusion around this question is excruciating." - Andrew Cohen
"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."~Henri Nouwen
"The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together." ~Erma Bombeck
"It is not so much our friends' help that helps us as the confident knowledge that they will help us."- Epicurus (341 - 270 BC) Greek philosopher.
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
