- Four wonderful, healthy boys who challenge, inspire and teach me every single day
- Acts of kindness from friends, neighbors and strangers
- A close-knit community
- A church that welcomes my children as valuable members of the faith community
- Technology! I couldn't live the life I do without the Internet.
- The ability to read. Did you ever stop and wonder how much richer your life is because you know how to read?
- Red wine and coffee
- My woodstove
- Our puppy, who, like my boys, challenges me daily, but brings so, so much to our lives.
- The Muppets (this one might be because I saw The Muppet Movie today, but c'mon -- I really think the Muppets make the world a better place)
- Quiet times for reflection
- Camping trips with my boys
- Hikes in the woods
- Plentiful work -- and the ability to make a living doing interesting work I enjoy
- Online communities that create real-life connections (FLX!)
- The fact that I am still standing, four years into the recession and one year post-divorce. While so many in the world struggle, I still have my children, my friends, my home and my family, and that is everything.
What are you thankful for this holiday season?
