Be Thankful
Thanksgiving always turns me toward gratitude. I remind myself of how many wonderful things I have in my life, and how often what I thought was not so wonderful turns out to be a “blessing in disguise.” For advent this year, one thing we are doing is writing in a gratitude journal each day. Thank you for your presence in my life.
