Gratitude, thankfulness, and gratefulness are feelings that fill my heart, especially at this time of the year. I have so many things to be thankful for like family, friends, health, and a home. Sometimes I forget how fortunate I am to have all these things, and it is nice to be reminded of all my blessings.

I am thankful for my family because they are always there for me, even when I don't deserve it. My parents have taught me to have a strong work ethic, but my children are the reason I live it. My husband and children are the loves of my life, and I am the luckiest person in the world to have them.

I am incredibly grateful to live in the community we do, and have the amazing opportunity to work with a dedicated group of parents, teachers, and volunteers. I am thankful to be a productive member of our community and to continue to serve in any capacity I can.

As the saying goes, I'm thankful for it all! The ups, downs, setbacks, and comebacks, they make me who I am, and for that I am always thankful.
