Today I am thankful for the time we spent with family yesterday. Becoming a Straker has been a blessing in many ways and being a part of such a large, loving family has enriched my life beyond what I thought was possible. Today we will get together with my sister and her family and I am very grateful for them. There is nothing like a sister that totally understands where you come from because she comes from the same place. I’m thankful for my loving husband and my beautiful girls. It’s amazing how lucky I am. I am always thankful for Benji’s Mom, Carole. I was fortunate enough to learn so much from her before her passing. I am grateful to have had the time I got with her and the lessons she passed on. I am thankful for health and stability, a job that I enjoy, amazing friends….amazing. I am even thankful for the snow today. Like the kids I was excited to see the white stuff on the ground this morning. But most of all I am thankful for today. I am alive and given another day to be blessed with all that is around me. Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all have a wonderful day.

There is nothing more rewarding then being accepted into a family that you admire.
