Thankfulness brings joy to our hearts

Thankfulness never goes out of style. Why are you thankful this year? Even if you have had the most unpleasant year of your life, I’m positive that you can find something to be thankful to have. I’m going to share my list for this year with all of you. Keep in mind as I list mine, they are in no particular order. When you make your gratitude list, you can order them or not.

I feel thankfulness because this year I’m having my sister’s family and both of my parents over to our house. We haven’t had everyone in years. Thanksgiving with a physical disability is hard because you want to do so much, but the body doesn’t allow it. I use my abilities to the best that I can by being organized and buying what we need so we’re ready. I also have an attendant help me clean. Jason baked a lot today.
