Thanksgiving

What a day! I love having a day set aside to be thankful. We all have so much to be thankful for. As I was talking with my students on Wednesday, I tried to express to them that it didn't matter what their neighbor or anyone else possessed. I told them that they should be thankful for what they had, no matter how big or small it was. We had a great discussion about this. Six-year-olds are more insightful than one might think. So, I am thankful for the big and the small this year. I am thankful for...
amazing parents, siblings, and family
a wonderful husband
a beautiful daughter
a fun pup
a place to call home
clothes to wear
food to eat
friends to confide in
a church to attend
the fact that the election is over and we watch things on TV other than political "stuff"
frozen toasted marshmallow and mocha coffee from Sheetz
Black Friday bargains
cozy blankets
my camera to capture "Makayla moments"
did I mention food to eat?
trees to decorate...I still only have one up...hopefully my count will rise tomorrow
turkey cupcakes decorated by my sister-in-law, nephew, and niece

time spent with my grandma. Her health has not allowed her to attend Thanksgiving dinner for the past couple years. She was able to come this year, which made my Thanksgiving complete.

I am thankful for so much more...would take me all night to list!

I hope that everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving and was able to take some time to reflect on what they are thankful for.
