thankful: november 11

i talked to my kids this morning about veteran's day and what it means.  i can't even get thru a conversation like that without tears because "thank you" just doesn't feel like enough to express how indebted i feel to our soldiers and all their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives and children for giving up so much, for all of the rest of us... for our country.
 
today, i am thankful to be in a warm house on this cold, snowy day.  to be able to provide activities that will entertain my children.  there are so many less fortunate.  this is a blessing which i do not take for granted.
 
every day... starting today, i am going to think of one thing that i am grateful for.  i'm going to engage mckenzie in this activity.  these would make a nice bound collection as a mini book to remember current gratitudes.  i don't think it's going to be hard.  not at all.
