So, last year some of us (AKA,me) maybe weren’t as grateful as we should have been.  In fact, maybe some of us (AKA, me again) were  a little whiny and homesick and frustrated by what our friends Trent and Caroline refer to as the “Korean Emotional Rollercoaster”.

Consider this post my remedy for that.  This year, I’m gonna take a moment and share with you some things we’re grateful for.  In no particular order, here they are.

1.  These three children, who are surely better than we deserve.

2. Two healthy fathers who are supportive of our doing crazy things like living abroad for two years. 

3.  2 mothers who loved us fiercely during the time we had with them

 4.  And wonderful other mothers who have loved us since then.

5.  3 little sisters who are smart, funny, talented, amazing women

6.  An impossibly cute niece and nephew who love to Skype

7.  An amazing extended family of people who love us

8. Good health and the ability to be physically active

9.  The ability to travel and see amazing things

10. Wonderful friends in every corner of the globe who have been there for us through thick and thin

11.  Facebook, Skype, email, and all those wonderful gizmos that let us keep in touch with the people we love

12.  Having found a soulmate and the pleasure of getting to spend every day with them

13.  The fact that we will get to spend next Thanksgiving at home with our family.
