Lately, things have been a bit unsteady, crazy, maybe even a little stressful. These feelings usually come close to the holiday season and sometimes even on the day itself. For instance, last Christmas, our water pipe busted in the front yard while simultaneously having the furnace go out. It can be hard to be grateful for the things in your life when you’re stuck warming up the living room with a space heater and no running water on Christmas morning. Luckily, the children, my husband, and I could have the heater replaced and the pipe in the yard fixed while staying warm at my mother’s house. Even in a bleak moment with everything crumbling beneath the roof, we still managed to be grateful for those in our lives who could open their home to us. This year, for Thanksgiving, I will spend time on a couch recovering from surgery while barking orders as a front-seat chef while my husband cooks my famous bacon-wrapped maple bourbon turkey. Sure, he won’t be grateful for the drill…
