What I Am Thankful For in 2025

Wow, it's been quite a while since my last post. So sorry about that! 

It is the holiday season again, and I have thought about what I am thankful for this year. I love to make a list of all the things that I am thankful for, as it reminds me of all that I have in my life.

This time of year is also bittersweet for me, as it includes the anniversary of my mom's passing. I do enjoy the holidays, but there is a part of me that wishes she were still here to enjoy them with the family.

I am thankful that I still have other family to spend time with, though, and that is what's most important.

So, here is what I am thankful for in 2025
