Happy Thanksgiving Week!
Here at my blog, we’ll be jumping on the Grateful train* and talking about all manner of things to feel grateful about.
And what am I thankful for? Today, and increasingly over the years, I am grateful for my family. I have a really, really good Husband. He’s a kind, hard-working, funny, talented, handsome, generous guy. He hands over compliments like Halloween candy. He’d rather be at home, with us, than anywhere in the world. He uses his talents to make the world beautiful**.
And then there are the Kids. The healthy, happy, smart and adjusted Kids. They like each other. They love each other. They grow their talents and they are obedient and they are kind.
Kid 1, quiet and reserved in normal life, lights up like a sparkler when she’s on stage.
Kid 2 is self-motivated and hard-working, and makes lovely music.
Kid 3 keeps me laughing*** with her diva ways.
Kid 4, totally not a baby anymore by the way, shares his love, spreading his friendship all over the kindergarten and beyond.
This family, it’s my greatest blessing. I thank God every day for them, for their goodness and their sweetness.
*which, naturally, reminds me of my favorite scene from “Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?” where the 3 convicts, still in ankle chains, leap onto the train car and then fall off. Priceless comedy.
**Kind of like these pictures.
***you know, when I’m not beating her
A beautiful family indeed. Happiest of Thanksgivings to you, Becca. *hugs*
