Gratitude

I've been working on compiling a list of the people and experiences I am grateful for this past year.

Recognizing that we can't do it alone...any of it...there is so much to be said for saying, "thank you, you have made a difference in my life."

To that end, my resolution in the new year is to write letters (an actual piece of papyrus with a postal stamp) to these "change makers" to express my gratitude.

But there is one change maker who has indelibly changed me, my husband.  For those of you who know the "in's and out's" of this crazy lady, you will appreciate that I am wrought with all kinds of imperfections...anxiety-prone, OCD like, demanding, forgetful and often, horribly needy.

So, when a man takes a vow to love you through all of that and more, I say, "If I thanked you daily, it would not be enough."

Here's to all of the people who have changed us in this past year...may you know how grateful we are for your love, consistency and belief in us.  Because really, without you, where would we be?
