Don’t Forget An Important Part of Your “Thankful For” List
by Gina
A Day to remember why you’re thankful. What you’re thankful for.
Thankful for partners, the few (or more) supporters that surround you, jobs / careers, friends, insurance, making it this far in your journey. This year, this time, I encourage you to reach within, look within – to you. Inward to your strength, your drive and determination.
This year, I hope you’ll take a moment to acknowledge yourself, acknowledge that you are a very large piece of your child’s puzzle…and you are someone to be thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Black Friday
I’m thankful for so much but mostly that my son is doing better and the seizures are under control.
I love this. You’re right — we often get so caught up in the things we feel we’re doing wrong or should be doing better that we forget to be thankful for the strength we have to do what we do. Thanks for the reminder.
That’s a good reminder, Gina. We can get so down on ourselves and focused on things we can’t control or haven’t overcome yet. But that we’re even here to tell the tale says a lot about us. Grateful for your encouragement here!
Thanks Laurie. Sometimes I think we forget to do this… myself included! Hope you had a good one!
