Thankful 16

Day 16: I am thankful for laughter. It cures everything. Almost. There is not a better sound in this world than the laughter of children. It makes my heart so happy when I hear the kids giggling...especially at each other. They are hilarious when they giggle back and forth at each other. Even on my worst day, something funny enough to make me laugh can change the direction of my mood. And it feels incredible when I laugh until I cry. And the ability to laugh at myself has made me much more easy-going and I'm certain I'm more fun to be around now. Laughter may not be the best medicine at all times for everything, but it's certainly the best overall all-natural medicine.

Thankful 14

Day 14: I am thankful for modern medicine. Without it, who knows what the outcome would have been for Lilly and it gave me peace of mind tonight. Maddy broke out in hives. Thankfully, urgent care stayed open until 8 so we were able to get in. I would not have slept well worrying all night if her airway was okay. I don't know why Maddy has hives, but I'm sure glad we can all sleep more easily tonight.
