Givin' Thanks

2:31 pm CST December 4, 2009
Dear Adam,
Spending Thanksgiving at the beach has become sort of a tradition on Daddy's side of the family, and I could not be more in favor of it. It's so nice to occasionally have a vacation that's just that - a vacation. We don't do much but eat, drink, play on the beach and sleep. Occasionally we shop. But then it's right back to the routine. The week is full of down time, and this year, I spent a lot of that time thinking about how lucky I am.
A friend of mine recently summed up her thoughts on Thanksgiving much better than I've ever been able to. She said something along the lines of "When you can't possibly name everything that you're grateful for, you know you've been truly blessed."
I tend to be a bit of a list-maker (Nanny is rolling her eyes right now because that is the understatement of the year), and in the past, I've enjoyed making little Thanksgiving lists of all of the things I'm thankful for. But to be honest, that list has gotten too long to keep up with. And let's be honest, since you came along, I've had a little less time to devote to list-making. My point is, we've got it good. I can't even imagine it being much better.
xo,
Mommy
