Each Thanksgiving, we go around the table and list the things we are thankful for. The seats at the table are fewer this year, but it's still my top priority to list what I'm thankful for...especially this year.
I'm very thankful for my family - my parents, my siblings, those crazy enough to marry into our family and those I was lucky enough to gain when we got married. There's a quote that reads "Other things may change us, but we start and end with family". Isn't that that truth. It's been a trying year with our family's share of ups and downs but we've each come out stronger than we thought we were.
A separate thanks must be included for my little family. I don't know what I would do each day without Jeff, Hunter, Will and Austin. They are all the reason I wake up and climb out of bed each morning and they're the last people I whisper thanks for each night. Life will change for all of us in the upcoming year, but I have faith it will make us stronger...as a family.
As thankful as I am for my family, I'm just as thankful for my friends. Life just wouldn't be the same without them. While I may not have many, those that I have are more than friends. They are my reality check, my sanity break and my most cherished relationships. Thanks for loving me, regardless of the craziness.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I'm sorry we couldn't break bread with all of you today but know that each of you are in my thoughts and I love you.
