Liberace and the Mayor

If you take the time to think about all the good things in your life and the things you should be thankful for, you could probably come up with quite a long list. The issue is taking the time to think about it and then being thankful.

Thanksgiving is a mental health day among other things. I spent the day thinking about all the things I am thankful for. It was a nice list including our kids, Heath, our family, our friends, our home, our jobs, our healthcare providers, Gibson, love, peace, our health, our safety, to name a few. But I have to say the predominant thing I was most thankful for today was our kids. Children are little miracles. To watch them grow and develop their personalities is fascinating. Even with all the added complexity of Chance's diabetes, I am so thankful that Tas and Chance are our sons and that the universe has graced us with them.

We had a wonderful evening at Ladonna and Charles' house with all the family. The boys really brightened up the gathering with their laughter and playfulness. I am convinced that Chance is destined be an inventor or scientist. He loves to figure out how things work. Tas will do something where he can do the thing he loves most - interact with people. The boys played Charles' keyboard this evening and had a great time. Chance was meticulously pushing all the different buttons to make all these cool sounds. I think he could have muscial talent. Tas just laughed and pound on the keyboard. Liberace and the Mayor. Both were quite impressed with their newly found talent of making sounds with a large wooden box with keys.

Happy Thanksgiving to all and to all a good night!
