What I’m Grateful For
By
Every year Thanksgiving comes around and everyone talks about what they are thankful for. It’ s a time for reflecting. This year was extremely difficult for a lot of reasons and yet, I find that I am still in a good place and have a lot to be grateful for.
I have a lovely home with a devoted and supporting spouse and several adoring and happy furry children. They (yes the infamous they have now been identified) keep me warm when the weather gets cold and have a tendency to be snuggly when I’m in a mood and know just what to do to make me laugh.
I have lots of memories of the holidays. Mom loved cooking and being the social butterfly. Even after I left we always came to mom’s house. The smell of roasting turkey, homemade stuffing, and mulled spiced wine will always remind me of home.
Every year we have a big debate on whether to go back home, somehow South Jersey is always going to be home, and every year the out come is different. This year we chose to visit friends or have friends over. Guess I got the entertainment gene from Mom 
Thank you to my friends and family, both near and far. I am grateful for your love and support. I wish you well in the years ahead and hope that we only grow closer as we grow older.
