I’m grateful today for all the same things I was last year.  But also, grateful that our beautiful daughter could join our family earlier this year: She is a joy to have around and makes life a whole lot busier and better.  I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.  I got an 8 mile run in this morning so I am ready for the feast!
