so thanksgiving day. Not something we celebrate in the UK but something i think we should. Being thankful….something one or two of my children struggle with….
for example whilst talking to one of my kids about his/her christmas list i said…
'you know there are a lot of very expensive things on that list.'
to which they said…
'well, that doesnt matter because Father christmas can get them.'
Now dont get me dragged into a discussion on whether or not you should 'do' father christmas with your child or not..thats not up for grabs here..but i want to know how you explain that actually..*ahem* father christmas had a budget!
Anyway i like the idea of being setting aside a day to be thankful, not that you shouldnt be every day…but you know what i mean…
This was made ever more clear to me when i was in work on Wednesday night and had a sharp and very stark reminder of why i should be so very very thankful for all the wonder i have….
so i am thankful for…..
this incredible bunch of folk…
what are you thankful for?
We’re thankful for our wonderful family.
Luv m&d xx
