Thanksgiving is a great time to reflect on all the things we’re thankful for. The staff at CollegiateParent created a list of all the things we’re making sure to be thankful for this year!

1. I am thankful for my family — the ones far away, the ones nearby, and my work family.

I am thankful for the health and happiness of both myself and those I love, and for having everything I need when I need it.

Not just the romantic kind but the love of friends and family. Even those who are no longer here I still have that feeling and knowing it will never go away. Love defies time.

Life is full of surprises, but my gratitude towards these core values hardly ever change!

…my apple tree, and the bounty of our garden that is still providing spinach and carrots!
