MOSAIC MOMENTS

Today in America, it is Thanksgiving. This is our time to give thanks for all our blessings of the year. And this year, I truly have been blessed!

So, today, in honor of Thanksgiving and of the 21st chromosome of Down syndrome I am going to count my blessings!

1. I have a husband who, even after all these years, loves me each day like it was our first! (not many can say that)
2. I have five wonderful sons who are all healthy and happy!
3. I have four amazing grandsons who bring a smile to my face just by thinking about them!
4. I have a roof over my head. (there are so many who don’t)

6. I have food, not much… but I am not hungry.
