my little tribute for thanksgiving {a little late}

my parents were able to have all their children and grandchildren with them for thanksgiving. {It's been a long time} It was awesome!
I had a fabulous time with the Tobler side as well!
I have come to think of some of my trials as a blessing. In which i will express gratitude. {even though it's very hard to be grateful for them a lot of the time} I think that my children's developmental problems are for me. I need to keep myself busy and focused on them to feel joy with their every new achievement instead of being taken over by my pain. I also think that because i know what it feels like to be in pain, i have become more sensitive to others.
{and yes i am completely self absorbed}
thank you keryn for your comforting words. They mean a lot to me.
i'm really glad i am a part of this family
love caren
