As we approach this holiday season, what are you thankful for?

I am so very, very thankful for my family. I have two older brothers and two younger sisters. We grew up friends and are better friends these days in our senior years. We now have nieces and nephews along with great nieces and nephews and of course with all of the in-laws, and are a pretty big group. We enjoy everyone's company so very much and get together many times of year to the sounds of so much laughter. I am so very grateful for this blessing. Thank you.
