What i'm thankful for ...

11/22/2016

As many of you know, I'm from Norwalk. I was born in the 60's, grew up in the 70's and graduated in the 80's from both high school and college. I'm very proud of my accomplishments in my life: great education, wonderful job, I own my house, my kids are fabulous and healthy, an amazing support system of family and friends, and really great husband, who always keeps me in "check" with a smile :)

At this time of year, I take time to reflect on how thankful I am for the things in my life. I'm really glad that my mom is still around.I'm glad my mom will still be around for another Thanksgiving. As kids, we sometimes take for granted that our parents will be around forever. As I've gotten older, I realize that I need to value my time with my family since none of us are around forever. I'm thankful for my for students. They bring me joy, frustration, good laughs, and a sense of accomplishment that the world is going to be okay with these students guiding our future. My family has given me the grace to be thankful for a good life. I appreciate my time with them even when we are not physically together.

In the end, please reflect on what you are thankful for this holiday season. I hope that your writings help you truly appreciate all the support and love your families give you now and beyond the holiday season.

I am thankful for a family to have and play with at home. I am also thankful for being able to live under a roof which not many people are able to have so I have to take my time under one.

I am thankful for having food on my plate every single day. Sometimes I get kind of selfish when my parents make something that I hate but at the end of the day I am thankful that I have something in my stomach. The thing I'm most thankful about is that I have a very caring and loving family.

This holiday season, I am thankful for my wonderful family and friends. I am also thankful for getting an education(with wonderful teachers), food, and a house to live in. I'm thankful that my parents and teachers are helping to further strengthen my educational life. The last thing I am thankful for is for the simple fact that we are alive and well, for this thanksgiving and hopefully many more.

I am thankful for everything I have. I have family, pets, a house, food, water, love, and clothing. Even though I take many things for granted, secretly I care very much about what I have. I have 1 brother even though I hate him so much he is still my brother so I do love him. I have my mom and dad that I love soooo much for everything they do for me and my animals.
To be honest I am very spoiled. My parents gave me everything I asked for even more! Even though I probaly get more than my brother, I am lucky to have lots. I am thankful that my parents are still alive and healthy and so am I. I am thankful that there are good people in this world like my family who make a change.
I am thankful for have technology without technology I wouldn't be able to communicate with family from far away. I am thankful for food without food I wouldn't be here today.
