Gratitude

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity... It turns problems into gifs, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow." - Melodie Beattie.

My Sister

What can I say, she has been my rock for the past few years and without her, the kids and I probably would not function.

I am forever grateful for you Marianne.

My Parents

They hold my children.

They are willing to play pretty much anything with my children.

I am so grateful for my parents, I could never express how much they mean to me. I had a wonderful childhood filled with a lot of love and a lot of laughs. No matter what heartbreak came along we never forgot as a family how lucky we are to have each and to never take ourselves too seriously.

My Mother is a very intelligent woman with an incredible strength about her.

My Father is extremely smart too, but he is also one of the most generous and kind people I know.

Art

I can't stop looking at this picture by Sandy Skoglund, "Revenge of the Gold Fish". Isn't that what art is supposed to do , make you linger?

Ryan

My Ryan, my youngest by 10 minutes, is 10 years old also. Ryan is this child who not only challenges me the most but he also surprises me the most. He is very artistic and creative. He can dance, sing, write and make incredibly elaborate Lego creations. Ryan has this very unique personality and he not afraid to be himself, which I admire.
