87 Months

Today JP found a penny in Key West, a week ago I found a penny at Milo's basketball practice. For this month of November we are supposed to be expressing gratitude and thinking of all the things we are thankful for, and for me it's still the simplicity of finding a penny that always makes my list. It's the little things...Milo also threw a penny into the small world ride at disneyworld. He was so excited, it was the perfect way to include Lola into one of the most magical places on earth and our family trip.  Oh the joy of a penny!

For this season, we have a little wooden tree in our playroom, it is our gratitude tree for Thanksgiving. We all listed things we were thankful for on little colorful fall leaves, of course Lola, Milo, Louie and Finley were my leaves.  Everyone is still part of the tree and my heart forever...there are so many things to be thankful for. I think it's hard when we are going through trying times to remember that. I'm not so sure I was thankful for anything when Lola left us, I probably should have been but now as I reflect back there is more gratitude. Being thankful can remind you of all the things  that should make our heart and smiles shine. I'm looking forward to finding my next penny...
