Today I just want to take a few moments to wish everyone reading this a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving, and take a few moments as well to reflect upon things I’m grateful for this year (there are many!)
- Grateful that my severely autistic son read aloud to me for the first time
- Even more grateful for the incandescent joy that lit up his face when he did so

- Grateful my husband won’t be jetting off to Europe again for work any time soon and leaving me with my wonderful (but often exhausting) kids
- Grateful in general for said husband who still makes me laugh no matter what
- Grateful to be living near family once again and for all their help
- Extremely grateful for the amazing professionals at both of my sons’ schools
- Grateful that even living in a house inundated with autism that we’re all happy, healthy and generally like each other most of the time
- Grateful for everyone who takes the time to read this blog
- Grateful for my life, with all its ups and down, twists and turns
-Grateful I’m not cooking on Thanksgiving (thanks Mom!)
Happiest of Thanksgivings to everyone!
