It's been quite the year. Ups and downs. A lot of learning. I've learned to let go of the relationships that are doing me more harm than good. I've been lucky enough, and am so grateful, for the new relationships I have fostered this year. Sometimes I am prickly and not very loveable; but I have people in my life who brave the pricks and love me even when I don't deserve it. Those are the people I will be bringing into 2020 with me.
My kids have grown so much this year, and faced different challenges that we continue to face head on. They are amazing, incredible human beings, and I can only take partial credit. 😉
I don't know what 2020 will bring. But I hope it's full of friends, family, happiness.

30 Days of Thankfulness
1. Having a generator for when we lose power.
2. Aiden helping with the outside chores, getting ready for winter. He moves wood like the little engine that could.
3. Having food on the table and in my babies' bellies.
4. My kids laughing with friends. The sound of their laughter makes my heart happy.
5. Snuggling with my kids.
6. Cub Scouts. The boys have learned so much and enjoy it so much.
7. Kate, Sarah, Melissa, and Rachael. I am blessed beyond belief to have you ladies in my life.
8. Reading with the kids. I will read out loud to them as long as they let me.
9. Aiden having a playdate with his bff.
10. Having the time to read to myself.
11. Lunch with an old friend.
12. Capstone. It's teaching Isabella to be more independent.
13. Heating pad on a cold bed.
14. Isabella letting me play with her hair. These time are few and far between.
