What I'm thankful for at this moment

As (Canadian) Thanksgiving weekend is upon us, and even though I have to spend the entire weekend with my in-laws {smirk} I’m grateful for many things.   Here are a few of them:

·         Obviously thankful for my hilarious and awesome children, my totally amazing hubs, our good health, a roof over our head and food on our table.

·         I’m grateful to have so many of my family still with us, although far away.  I cherish every moment I can chat with my grandmother on the phone or watch the kids Skype with their grandparents.

·         I’m thankful that the sun is shining and Mother Nature is showing us the most beautiful display of fall colours.

·         I’m thankful for the power and inspiration of music, the arts and that my children willingly immerse themselves in it.

·         I’m thankful for the opportunity to give back to the community and to places far away where we have the chance to see just how good we’ve got it here.

·         I am so very thankful that live in a country where I can be myself, work if I choose, have my own opinions and not live in fear.

·         I’m also very grateful that right now I can go give my kids a big hug and tell them I love them.  That they say it back to me and squeeze me, too, makes everything perfect.

What are you grateful for today?
