Gratitude this Holiday and Always


"Today, be grateful. Be grateful for your favorite music, for movies that make you feel good, for the phone that connects with people, for your computer, and for the electricity that lights up your life. Be grateful for the roads and traffic lights that keep the traffic in order. Be grateful for those that built our bridges. Be grateful for our loved ones, for our children, pets, for our eyes that enable us to read this. Be grateful for your imagination. Be grateful that you can speak. Be grateful that you can laugh and smile. Be grateful that you can breathe. Be grateful that you are alive! Be grateful that you are YOU.

Be grateful that there are two words that can change your life, and say them over and over again:

Thank You!

--From The Secret

I am very grateful for the blessings that my family received this holiday season. I am also thankful for Suzanna's Mom inviting Dad to Christmas dinner at the Tyrrell house.


With Love,
E

Grateful for all you have mentioned and more...
Thank you Eric for being my little brother, for bringing calm and balance into our lives. You're a true libra. :) Thank you Nathan for your drive and ambition...and for your ability to just let me vent. Thank you Bryan for your generous soul, for being a Marine and working every day towards the important goal of keeping us safe and our freedoms safe. Thank you Jessie for being you and for helping me realize that.
