This post is a retread of a post from a previous challenge. When doing a challenge like this every day, it is easy to miss gratitude opportunities. If you haven’t figured it out by now, there is much to be grateful for. I know I have forgotten important people, groups of people, things, or experiences in my postings. This challenge could be a year and I would still miss a few things.
This gratitude challenge is not complete unless I write about about the two men who are my sons. I am so grateful for both of my sons. It has been a joy to watch them develop and grow into amazing human beings. They have taught me so much about myself and life, I am better because of them.
My oldest son graduated from college and earned a master’s degree in public policy. He has a job where he has the opportunity to shape the world around him for the better. He is married to an amazing woman. My youngest is in college and doing great. He has a wonderful group of friends, a vision for the future, and the drive to succeed. For the first time in several years, we spent Thanksgiving together. It was wonderful.
If you have children (furry kind count), take time to be grateful for them. They grow up quickly and leave the house. Send them a note letting them know you are thinking about them.
