I’m sitting here this evening filled with a whole lot of gratitude.
I’m grateful for good mommy friends and kid-free nights out that are full of laughs.
I’m grateful for friends who invite us into their home to share good food and conversations.
I’m grateful for my husband who works so very hard for our family, even traveling on holidays.
(I’m grateful – for his sake – that he at least gets a first class seat on his 14-hour plane ride tonight.)
I’m grateful for the men and women who fight for us and allow me to spend time
with my three favorite monkeys in a country that is safe and free.

Happy Memorial Day. I hope you take a moment to count your blessings, too.
