With all of the things that are in the media today, I think that it is time to stop and think. I agree totally with Marine Mom, that we need to reflect on what this country is. We need to reflect on what our men and women, sons and daughters, are fighting for abroad.

And we need to be thankful.

This is the season to be thankful for everything. But, I also want to focus on the little things. My car may not be top of the line, but it runs. My house may not be the best looking, but it keeps my family dry and warm. My boys may misbehave, but they are both happy and healthy, and love totally even when I fail them.

People who may come across this, stop. Think. Reflect. Be thankful.
