Giving thanks

In the UK, traditionally we don't celebrate Thanksgiving. I think we should! What could be more wonderful  than a celebration, bringing family together to give thanks for all that they have been fortunate for.

Murray and I have decided to have a Thanksgiving celebration this year. It probably wont be on the right day but we feel like so many wonderful things have happened this year for us and we should give thanks.

A few of the things we are thankful for

• Our health and the health of our children
• Our new house. We are so fortunate to be sitting in our new home. We are thankful to everyone who helped us to get here and for those who made it possible for us to buy our forever home.
• In the summer of this year my Father in Law suffered from a life threatening illness. With the help from a fast acting ambulance crew and some fabulous doctors he has now reached the stage in his recovery where he has returned to work. He has also just had the all clear from a recent test and we hope he will never have to encounter this experience again.
• I am thankful for finally being able to get my own childcare business off the ground, this has happened with minimal problems, I have a house full of happy children and I didn't have to go through any times of financial hardship, it all happened seamlessly with the end of my previous job.
• I am thankful for my children, they have been wonderfully resilient and understanding in this year of change and upheavel. There have been moments of tears and frustrations, but in the end they have come through smiling with their true Characters shining through.
• I am thankful for my friends and family who get me through all of the huge and tiny things that happen everyday.
• I am thankful for my loving and hardworking husband. Everything he does he does for us. Thanks sweetheart xx

I am looking forward to enjoying my favourite part of the year with my favourite people and what better way to start it off but with a huge turkey feast??
