Happy Thanksgiving - What are you grateful for?

I hope you're enjoying all the family, friends and good food today. And I hope you're realizing that when your spending time with the ones you love, you're making memories. Enjoy the moments of this life.

5 things I'm grateful for today and everyday.

1. My family and friends - immediate, extended, new and old. Some I haven't seen in years, some I saw last weekend, and some I saw this morning. I'm grateful for everyone that my path has crossed. For everyone has taught me something.

2. My clients - those who have trusted me to photograph the very memories of their own lives. To document their joys, their moments, and their loved ones.

3. The internet/computer - I'm grateful I get to share my life's work and my own experiences. I'm thankful I get to read other people's as well. To be inspired.

4. The ability to read - I'm grateful I was able to go to school and learn. For reading has opened so many new doors and walkways for me. I have always thought, if every skill I have ever learned what taken away and I had the choice to keep one, it would be the ability to read. Because if I can read, I can gain any other knowledge all over again.

5. My life - grateful to get to wake up and hug my daughter and my husband. Grateful for my experiences, triumphs. and fails. Grateful for struggles, hard times, and worries, for now I know what to avoid and what to focus on. Grateful for my health, my body, and my traditional loving soul.

Happy Thanksgiving!
