Each year for the last few years we’ve been talking together as a family most nights at dinner about what we’re thankful for during the month of November. We’ve done it for a few years now and the lists are always full of a few funny ideas. This year we had to interpret Ewan’s ideas as he was not yet speaking more than a few words. This month Fred was struggling with his health and so that came up a few times. Also the tradition of looking around the room, and naming whatever you see is also well and alive in our lists! I was also not healthy particularly during the month of November, so there’s a bit more awareness of the gift of health in general, but not mine.
