What Are You Thankful For?

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

This sweet note came today in 5 Minutes for Mom Newsletter.  I did not know that Canada celebrates Thanksgiving in Oct. This got me thinking how great it would be to collect notes from Moms about what they are grateful for. Are you in?  Add your comments or links to your post about it. I think it would be great for all of us to think about what we are grateful for and share it with each other.

Since I became a mother almost six years ago, the question “For What Are You Most Thankful?” has never required a moment’s hesitation.

I am most thankful for my daughters.

My blessings — Julia and Sophia — make me more thankful than I could ever have imagined being.

Today on another Thanksgiving (here in Canada), I cannot stop thanking God for my precious girls.

I spent a quiet and profoundly simple day with them today. We started the morning with snuggles on the couch. We walked to the park, picnicked, baked pie, made Thanksgiving dinner, read stories, and said Thanks to God while we snuggled in bed again at the end of it all.

I am so thankful for my girls and thankful for the beautiful day we had together.

FOR THE TAXES I PAY

BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM EMPLOYED. (more…)
