One Big Happy Family!

I was sitting at my desk this morning kind of feeling sorry for myself because I had to say good-bye to my children again.  We had such a great time being together at Thanksgiving and saying good-bye was bittersweet. 

But then . . . my mind seemed to open up to all of my blessings.   My children are healthy and happy and doing the right things for their futures.   Three specific blessings were brought  forefront to my mind . . . No. 1 - my husband.   An awesome, humble, handsome man who actually likes to spend time with me!    No. 2 - something a friend said - "look forward to the time when your children will come back - - because they WILL come back."   Three weeks.   Christmas break.   YES!    And . . . No. 3 - opening up my blog this morning and being able to read YOUR posts and see the most amazing photographs from around the world, and read YOUR thoughts on life.   And knowing that we are all the same, no matter where we may be or what our circumstances are.   We are all part of the same family.  And that is awesome!!   Thank you all!
