to give thanks.

. for having the means to buy the food to host a dinner that lends to wonderful leftovers that are filling my belly as i write this.

. for having the home to hope to sell to be able to have more room to have more people at our gatherings.

. for having the family and friends to fill a house with love and warmth at said gatherings.

. for learning the patience to deal with not getting all that i want all of the time.

. for having my wonderful husband to continue to amaze me with his love and support in all aspects of my life.

. for cheese sticks to feed my son to quench his appetite on days when he will tolerate nothing else.

. for our soft puppies to provide hugs and cuddles when no one can find the words to comfort.

. for the coincidental string of seemingly painful events to lead us to doctors to enlighten us on our son to provide the necessary means to see correctly to thrive and develop like the rest of his peers.

. for sidewalk chalk to entertain on unseasonably warm days.



. for the survival of a miracle dog to be the canvas for my son to place his stickers.

. for the little reminders to stop and enjoy the preparation for a day to feasting and giving thanks...and to lend a helping hand

Mr. Gobbles

. for having survived a tumultuous year only to come out stronger and more appreciative of the little things in order to conquer all else as it comes...
