I’d like to keep this short because as with Nate’s birthday post, if I really get going, I’ll never, ever stop.

I am so grateful for my life. I am grateful to be here. I thank the Lord each day for my family, my situation in life, my relative health, and even my struggles because they have certainly contributed to who I am today. I am grateful to feel His love and guidance in my life.

I am grateful for friends that surround me. They truly enrich my life.

I am, of course, grateful for knitting. It has been a wonderful way to exercise my creative side, and to do something for myself while still being actively involved with my children. What I mean by this is that I can knit while listening to and talking with them, which seems to be what my little girls need. They are such emotional, expressive little people. They never stop talking. And they don’t just talk. They ask the most complicated questions. They are so inquisitive about the world, and people, and relationships, and how everything connects. It is quite draining, actually, but while I’m in my chair, knitting, they surround me and talk, and ask, and I can talk with them.

I am grateful to be able to stay home with my children.

I am grateful for this blog. I don’t mean to sound shallow, but I really am. For the people I’ve met, the friends I’ve made, and the things I’ve learned. I thank those of you who have reached out in the comments and taught and encouraged me. It is most appreciated. Most importantly, I’m thrilled to have found a way to share my day-to-day life with those that I love that are far from me.

I am grateful for my incredible husband. He is such a strength to me. He supports and loves me in a way I could never have imagined or even hoped for.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who are celebrating it. Thank you, to the rest. Have a wonderful weekend.
