So, I’m a little late to this one. Meant to post it last week right after Thanksgiving. Especially after having a house full of boisterous, loving, and fun family. While I had no problem rattling off this list when I jotted it down, the actual posting took awhile. Probably because I’ve been sick with the WORST COLD KNOWN TO MAN. But that’s okay. It’s never too late to be thankful, right? :) (PS – this isn’t on the list, but I’m also thankful for all healthcare professionals. I really should go see them sooner.)
