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.
