Count Your Blessings
With both Thanksgiving and the presidential election this month, I was challenged with whether to write about gratefulness or the election. Then it occurred to me maybe I should write about being grateful that this election cycle is almost over. I know you will be as relieved as I am not to be bombarded with all the negativity and divisiveness, if nothing else!
All kidding aside, Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It doesn’t require scrambling around trying to get gifts, or messing with lots of decorations. Its sole focus is gathering with friends and family just to eat and be together. It really creates a space that allows us to truly be grateful. We have a tradition in our family
