What a great weekend spent surrounded by delicious food, good friends, and loving family. As I sit in my cozy little home, full of leftover turkey and stuffing, with a fire in the fireplace and a pile of kittens in my lap, I want to take a moment to think about all the things I have to be grateful for. I frequently think about how blessed I am but the holidays really bring it home.
I am grateful to have a good job. Working in a community college has it’s own unique challenges but it gives me mental stimulation and the opportunity to collaborate with a great group of people. It also gives me the chance to help improve the learning experience, and hopefully, the futures of the students who pass through our doors.
I am grateful to be able to serve by volunteering and fostering for the MSPCA. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work side-by-side with an amazing group of staff and volunteers dedicated to caring for so many lost, abandoned and homeless animals.
I am grateful for my family, who live both close to my house and close to my heart. I love being able to get together for holidays, birthdays, and special occasions; the kids crowded into the TV room and the adults crowded into the kitchen. Girls Night with moms, aunts, and cousins is always a laugh a minute. Nana is doing quite well for a 98 year old lady. She’s the only grandparent I have left so I cherish every minute with her.
I am grateful for my beautiful home. It has been in my family for four generations and has more memories than I will ever be able to get down on paper. There is nowhere I would rather be.
I am grateful for my husband. I’m not the easiest person to live with and he is my perfect partner. Gabe has an amazing talent when it comes to making, building and fixing things. Whether its the plumbing for the toilet, an inlaid wooden jewelry box, or a wiring problem on his buddy’s motorcycle, if it has parts that go together in a certain way to perform a function he “gets” it. Without him we would not have this beautiful home. He has spent the last 15 years renovating every room, one at a time. Quite a labor of love and one I most grateful for.
What are you grateful for?
