It’s the end of the road…the last Thursday of the year and I only made it to week #42.
Of course I should have had 52 Thankful Thursdays, and I’m a bit bummed I didn’t make it all the way.
But, life happens, right?
I’ll catch up.
And soon, hopefully!
FAMILY
The one thing in life that is appropriate to express thanks for over and over again.
We spent the holiday without our extended families this year.
Although it was nice to not run to multiple houses and eat multiple dinners, there was still a huge hole in our celebration this year.
The place where Grandma & Grandpa sat and juggled kids on their knees.
The place where all the cousins played too hard with each other and made their parents crazy.
And the place where all the adults chatted endlessly about their lives as parents.
I missed all of that this year, and honestly I’m not sure I want to do it again.
The 3 photos below are my family, I’m blessed with 3 of them!
These were last year’s photos, I wish I had new ones!
Today, above all else, I am thankful for the families God has placed in my life.
All together, they are the source of my strength, love, and hope in the future!
