I remember when our children were little and it seemed like my life was an ongoing whirlwind of chasing kids, doing laundry, cleaning up, etc. You're right, all that craziness means that you have people you love and who love you back in your life. This is the first year that my husband and I are empty nesters. When our children left after Thanksgiving to go back to school, it was very quiet in our house. I love where I am in my life right now, but sometimes I yearn for a little one to cuddle on my lap and ask for just one more story. :)Julie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497758310228642932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220390520594776250.post-43002724251399967982012-11-28T16:35:47.240-06:002012-11-28T16:35:47.240-06:00LOVE this idea!

I know how much my granddaughter talks at 3, so can imagine all that happens with two almost her age. Peace & quiet is a blessing at times. I am thank-full for my family, who helps in every imaginable way they can, also living their own busy lives.

I would like to write my own thankful poem, as based on yours it is a powerful way to put things into perspective and remember to have a positive outlook. I really enjoyed the combination of the paragraphs setting it up followed by the poem. <br /><br />At NCTE I heard the author of Wonder speak on a session panel and it made me love the book even more. I always love hearing authors talk about their ideas and the background behind writing their books. I am hoping to do a series of posts reflecting on NCTE very soon, including more thoughts about Palacio's session, but it feels like much of this week will be about getting back into a routine after being away at the convention followed by being on Thanksgiving break.Amanda Villagómezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02119297811490732509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220390520594776250.post-13265343195664554092012-11-27T07:18:23.080-06:002012-11-27T07:18:23.080-06:00It seems to be so easy to look at the undesirable ...It seems to be so easy to look at the undesirable things in our lives and not look at the "other side".
