This year we have a lot to be thankful for! This week marks the anniversary of when my mom had her heart surgery last year. What a blessing it is to see her so alive and vibrant when last year during this week she was on life support.
Also, below is a picture of my awesome father-in-law who also had medical good news this week. Earlier this year he broke his tailbone. When they did some imaging they found a small bladder cancer. They said they hadn't seen one this small because he wasn't even experiencing any symptoms. They removed the cancer this week and were able to declare him cancer free!
We even found time to make new gratitude leaves, pumpkins and acorns for our front door wreaths. We didn't make any last year, I don't even know if I put them up. But it was fun to sit together and think about what we are thankful for. We overflowed the wreaths! I put some away that I will use to make the 2019 garland in 2020. (Hopefully--I pulled off the 2017, but didn't have time to make the garland. Hopefully in 2020 I won't be doing student council, so I'll have lots of time for garland making.) It is so fun to look back on what we were thankful for in the years when I did make garland of our former wreaths. They make great decorations.
