Little Miss Thankful...

This Thursday we will celebrate Thanksgiving Day surrounded by our friends and family. A day that seems better known for gluttony and football, I decided maybe I ought to start giving thanks a bit earlier this week to get into the right spirit.

So here it is…Monday and I’m thankful for…Family.

“Oh Elyse that’s what EVERYONE says.”

I know. But do we really ever take the time to explain why we are thankful for them?

While I was sitting here trying to think of a way to best describe why I am thankful for family, my mind wandered to the Roger Hargreaves cartoons: Mr. Men and Little Miss.

Then it hit me…that’s the perfect way to describe them…

I’m thankful because my family is the perfect combination of Little Miss/Mr:

Lover

Instigator

Provider

Comedian

Faithful

Care taker

Fun

Grumpy

Encourager

Reality Check Provider

Fighter

Cheer

Snuggler

Friend

Helpful

Stress Ball

Optimist

Leader

Goofball

Worrier

Brave

Pessimist

Listener

I love all of my Mr. and Little Miss Family.

It’s Monday…what are YOU thankful for?  

Love,

Elyse
