A month of thanks: Day 4

Today & everyday, I am thankful for my son. On the worst of days, he can make me smile. His smile, his love for life, and his innocence is contagious. I am thankful for this true love that I've never felt. He is my heart, my everything. 

A month of thanks: Day 2 & Day 3

Day 2: I am thankful to be off work tomorrow and for the opportunity to create memories with my family.

Day 3: I am thankful for the Kansas City Royals. These boys in blue have stolen my heart! I've watched them for years but watching them battle through the playoffs & the World Series has been amazing. Today at their victory parade-- I totally teared up. I really love their spirit. I really love their grit and determination. Today, this team gave us a gift. For a moment, this community put aside their differences, their politics, their religion, their issues & they came together to celebrate this team that has inspired a sense of camaraderie and pride in this city. It is a beautiful thing. It makes my heart swell. 

A month of thanks: Day 1

November starts my month of thanksgiving. This year, I'm going to aim to acknowledge at least one thing/person I am thankful for each day. 

This is a journey to learning to be thankful for the smallest things and seeing God all around-- as I move through each day. 

Day 1: I'm thankful for my husband and the life we've built. His friendship. His loyalty. His ability to challenge me. He is my rock.
