So much to be Thankful for!

We have so much to be thankful for this year....good health, great friends and family, jobs, income, the ability to help others, our church, organizations we believe in...

Alaric and Amara's first Thanksgiving Turkey was a big hit this year. As you can see, they found lots of "feathers" to put on their turkey. They, like us, are realizing more and more how important it is to count and acknowledge our blessings.

I ran into one of my dearest friends from High School yesterday while shopping at Meijer. She's 31 years old, mother of two sons 6yrs and 2 yrs, a wife, a teacher, and an amazing friend. She found out yesterday that TODAY will be her last Radiation Treatment for the Breast Cancer she's been battling and beating for months! I was so elated to hear the news and so humbled to see her again- just like always- a big warm smile and hug to greet me, good news to share! She showed me in just a quick moment how really thankful I should be and am. I'm so happy for her to have this wonderful time with her precious family and to be a witness to all of us.

Happy Thanksgiving!
