Grateful Monday

This week we celebrate being grateful, and I have so much to truly be grateful for.

Here are five things that I'm celebrating this week.

• My family.  I am blessed to have a wonderful family.  I couldn't ask for better people in my life including my parents, siblings, nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, and cousins.  I am also especially grateful for my husband and my son.  These two guys truly make me a better person.
• My friends.  Throughout my life I have always known the joy of having several true, good friends. I consider myself lucky.
• Thanksgiving.  It is my favorite holiday.  A day to feast and celebrate being thankful...how wonderfully simple and precious.
• My advisor.  She is an amazing woman who has offered me so many exceptional opportunities.  I am so thankful for her guidance.
• My dog.  He's forever loyal and always provides unconditional love.  I can't imagine my life without him.
