Wonderful idea for a thread.. I am thankful you started it and am thankful for each and everyone one of you ..
I am thankful to my four amazing children who have taught me so much and give me the strength and motivation to try and be better every day.
I am thankful I was in a financial position to be able to stock our pantry (not hoard stock) for what we should need in the next couple of weeks .
I am thankful I am currently not employed in public healthcare ( I work privately ) not because I don’t want to help but because my daughters immune system is crap..and I as they kiss only parent I want to hunker down with my children to keep them feeling safe and loved.
I am thankful for all my former coworkers and all front line staff out there fighting for us all.
I am thankful to be back home in Canada and night be worried about possible medical bills .
I am thankful we went with my sons hockey team to Fl in Dec so we aren’t going now or in spring . I am also thankful we have our trip booked for August that gives us something to look forward to .
I am lastly in a weird way thankful this “pause “has given us much needed family time .Last night we ate dinner together , this am we baked a birthday cake and did school work. Sounds silly but as a single mom to 4 kids who recently held two jobs , whose two older kids are comp. athletes , whose third is in autism therapy , whose 4th looks like he will also be an athlete . This downtime is allowing me to feel like a mom again and just breath instead of being in 4 or 5 places a night . I am thankful for this pause .
