Giving Thanks
I, we, have a lot to be thankful for. We live in a free country, where men, women and children are free to worship as they choose, free to go about as we please, free to choose our livelihood and our neighborhood.
I am thankful for my family, local and long-distance. I am thankful for my amazing husband, my soul-mate, my feisty 10 year old daughter, of which I never in a million years, thought I would be so blessed.
Without a doubt, I am thankful for my brave sons, who serve and protect from far away, and for all of our military families who give up more than just a holiday for this country.
I am thankful that I never gave up my quest for a successful business. I am thankful for every single experience that has happened along the way. For those experiences served as my ‘education’ and I know I’m not finished learning yet.
Fun Times with Family and Friends
Last night we invited Emily’s closest friend from school for their very first sleep-over and then took the girls and met Anna’s family in the next town over for a pre-Christmas celebration.
We went on a carriage ride, decorated Christmas cookies, walked around the shops, watched the tree-lighting and Emily even sat on Santa’s lap! She’s 8 years old and had always been terrified of sitting on Santa’s lap.
Our favorite coffee shop, Milwaukee Traders (think big comfy couches and free wi-fi) is the perfect place to relax and do business. It was all decked out for the holidays.
I didn’t forget my camera this time and created this video. Enjoy!
p.s. This morning, I overheard Emily and her friend talking about their ‘someday.’ How cool is that!
QOTD: What are your top 3 ‘somedays’ and how are you going to make them happen now?
