I literally could write a gratitude list that does not end, so, I hope all my friends and family know how thankful I am for their presence in my life. I am just listing a few, but this list is not all inclusive:> (In other words, don't be offended if you're not listed, you are, I just ran out of space.)
I am thankful for:
- Brittany, for making popcorn for us when we watch TV, and then asking me to "help" her make it.
- Tyler, for going to see Harry Potter with me, even though it was obvious he was embarassed to be with his mom at the movie theater.
- Kayla, for living her life with clarity, joy and purpose, and for coming home on Thanksgiving and spending so much time with her family.
- Tom, for helping me move my mom into a new apartment on the day after Thanksgiving, and never complaining even once.
- my Mom, for giving me lots of stories to tell, and for teaching me forgiveness and how to laugh at the hard things in life.
- my Dad, for being one of the few people who I can really talk to, and for making sure to spend as much time as he can with the kids when we're together, teaching them card games, poker, and really being there with the kids.
- Jane, for making my dad so happy.
- Denny, for making me laugh every time I talk to him, and for not getting mad at me when I forget his birthday.
- Julie, for making me laugh every time I talk to her, and for having the best sister talks in the world.
- Barb, for whatever she did to raise her son to be such a great husband and father, and for being one of the best people in my life.
- Audra, for making my brother so happy, and bringing Ebben into this world.
- Todd, for making my sister so happy, and for bringing 3 more boys into our family.
- my work, for allowing me to do what I love, and to support my family while doing it.
- my students, for bringing me true joy in my work, and for inspiring me to work as hard as they do for their success.
- my church, for making me feel like I'm part of a greater family.
- my God, for grace.
