Kim is thankful today for exactly the same thing I am: the ability to keep in touch with our children via the internet. Oldest daughter flew to Amsterdam overnight and this morning I awoke to an email message from her saying, “I’m in Amsterdam!” Yes, it’s not much, but it’s 100% better than 9 years ago when oldest son, almost 19, travelled by himself to Italy for a month. A phone call once a week was about all we could expect, since there weren’t many places for travellers to go online back then and pay phones were hard to come by, too.

 

Doesn’t that list make you thankful, too? Why don’t you participate in being thankful with us? Here’s how:

• Mention something you’re thankful for in the comments here, and I’ll include it in one of my thanksgiving posts, or
  
• Email me to tell me what you’re thankful for and I’ll include it in one of the thankful posts, or
• You may post your thankful thought(s) on your own blog and send me the link(s), and I’ll link to your post.
• If you’ve posted something thankful and I missed it, please remind me.
