Monday Gratitudes

My sweet little boy started preschool for the first time this past week.
I was worried. No, I was petrified.
Since my stroke this past January he's been very clingy and will not leave my side. He is literally my shadow.
But guess what.. he had an absolutely wonderful first day and seems to like the kids in his class.
Miracles still happen -even small ones. I am grateful for this.

Monday Gratitudes

I always thought that Labor Day was a holiday to squeeze in one last trip to the lake as summer gives way to fall or one last excursion to buy school clothes at all the great sales. Oh, I also thought it was the last hurrah before the start of a new school year (so not true, since my kids seem to be starting school earlier every year). All joking aside -that's well and good, but maybe we should be thankful for those who have and continue to faithfully perform their jobs here in this good country and those who serve this country abroad.
American workers have risen to the occasion in times of crisis. They have increased productivity. They have been responsible for innovations and discoveries that have enhanced our quality of life and the rest of the world's.They have toiled to produce the greatest country in the world.
Americans deserve a holiday for a job well done.
I am thankful for those around me that are the backbone of this country and who truly get the job done.

I am truly thankful that my hubby (who is at work right now) has a job. How blessed my family is.

So enjoy your family and friends today and take a minute to thank yourself and others around you for the hard work you do.
