Today I am thankful for my faith.  I am thankful that through this tough time I have had my faith to lift me up, and I am thankful that I feel that in the last year I have continued to grow in my faith.  I am thankful for Father Mark’s homily about perseverance today. It was just what I needed to hear. I am thankful that in church today we sang, “Be Not Afraid.”   It was just what I needed to sing. 

Today I am thankful for all of my nieces.  They are all so beautiful and such bright spots in my life.  I love you Cecilia, Jameson, Cameron, Kendall, and Casey!

Today I am thankful for the bond my siblings and I share.  I am thankful for Allie’s sense of humor, our goofiness together, and everything she teaches me about courage and perseverance.  I am thankful for Andy’s passion and intensity for everything he puts his mind to.

Today I am thankful for all of the Veteran’s and people who are currently serving our country. Thank you for being the 1% of the population that makes so many sacrifices for the other 99%.  A

Today I am thankful for good health insurance to allow me to receive the care I need.
