I'm thankful that we're going to spend Thanksgiving with my BIL and his family, because we always have a blast together. I'm thankful and darned lucky that I have great in-laws that I adore, from my mother and father in law to sisters in law by marriage. They're all good folks!
I'm thankful that my mom understands that we'll not be with her this year at Thanksgiving. Heck, I'm thankful each and every day for my mom!
I'm thankful that my BIL is getting married over New Years, and that we'll all be together for the event (and that we can afford the unexpected expenses associated with it

)
I'm thankful that one of my dearest friends has a healthy and gorgeous new baby girl, and that I was able to be there at her birth. I'll forever be blessed by such an honor.
I'm thankful that my kids are healthy, have good friends, ARE good friends back, and do well in school. I'm especially thankful that one rugrat is learning that doing all homework=grades he likes
I'm eternally thankful for Alpha Omicron Pi. Thankful for our founders, who celebrated *their* bonds of friendship in such an enduring way. Thankful for the lifetime sisters and friends I have gained within our sisterhood. Thankful for my sisters here locally, who understand both my strengths and weaknesses (and there are many!), and support me daily in our work on behalf of our Fraternity. Thankful for our International personnel, who do an incredible job of supporting and educating all of us.
Finally, I am thankful for GreekChat and for John. What he does to bring us GC--for free--is nothing short of amazing.
Roses,
