We were all together for Christmas in 2017. It was so nice having all the kids at home. I loved it. That morning we had some breakfast and then exchanged gifts. The kids wrote letters to me and Gary, per tradition started by Sky years ago, when she was a child. Back then she asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I told her, "Just write me a letter about what you are grateful for." Years later, they all do this for not only me, but each other and their papa. It is my favorite part of Christmas.
I have been reflecting on what I am grateful for lately. In the wake of so many recent difficult world events, it seems like a good idea. In fact when I awake, before I get out of bed I make a mental list, in gratitude, like a prayer.
May 2018 be joyous and happy to all!
