"What are you thankful for?"

" Thank you mommy for our food and our family and our friends, thank you"

This phrase is heard everyday at my house, at any restaurant and at every meal, followed by:

"Mommy what are you thankful for?"

My children at every meal, after everyone has sat down my son starts with "Thank you mommy, nanny,whatever restaurant we are at, for the food and our family and our friends, thank you" and my daughter goes around the table and ask EVERYONE, and I do mean everyone "What are you thankful for?" The thankful's range from what you are thankful for at that moment to what you have been thankful for years, it doesn't matter how big or how small the thankful is you just must have a thankful to share.

 I know that I am truly blessed to have children that make you stop and think for just a moment about all the good that there is in our life's and all the little and big things that we let slip by, they give our family the chance to remember those things, and really let the universe and all those in it how thankful we are.

In our family being thankful isn't a one time a year thing that happens on thanksgiving it happens every day, every night no matter how big or small the meal or how many people sharing the meal we are always reminded to be thankful.

So when you sit down for dinner tonight, or breakfast in the morning, or even lunch remember the words of my son and daughter, What are you thankful for!
