Things have been crazy (pandemic, staying at home, school canceled for the rest of the year) so now, more than ever, is a time to practice gratitude. Here are just a few of the things I’m thankful for lately:

1. I’m grateful for technology! In the last 5 weeks it has allowed us
   • Online school and educational meetings
   • Virtual happy hours and game nights
   • Online therapy sessions
   • Working from home and online staff meetings
   • Keeping in touch with friends and family
   • Getting important news and update
   • Endless entertainment
2. I’m grateful that we are all going through this together and have one another to lean on. I’m also thankful for all of the helpers throughout this. I like to focus on them rather than the bad things happening.
3. I’m grateful to still have a job and that my company is doing well in these hard times.
4. I’m grateful for my in-laws’ help. They have enjoyed spending time with our kiddos so we can get some work done from home.
5. I’m thankful for spring and warmer weather that allows us to get some outdoor time instead of spending all of out time indoors these days.

I hope everyone is hanging in there and reaching out when you need to. Sending virtual hugs to you all!
