We are grateful...

"Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer. And let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and welcome good." Dr. Maya Angelou





























We are grateful for...

A fabulous Thanksgiving dinner last weekend, full of amazing food, baby cousins, a live music jam with Leah and a dear friend... it was such a fun evening! Our mama made delicious vegan stuffed eggplant rolls, our papa made a brine for the turkey and apparently it was the best and most moist turkey ever. He also won major awards with a Vegan and Wheat-free Sugar Pie! It was out of this world. So good we all had multiple servings and there was none left.

We are grateful for...

The amazing story of the Long brothers found here in this video clip. We have each watched it a few times over. It is so beautiful to hear and see such an empathetic heart found in Connor Long. We cried and think every single person should see this video, especially if you have boys, brothers etc. It is love pure and simple.

We are grateful for...

The joy of being able to tell you all that our family is growing! We cannot wait until April when we will become Aunties! : ) We are so so so excited and thrilled for our brother, his lovely wife, our sister and her handsome hubby. Two babies only days apart! So very exciting.

We are grateful for...

The full moons and sunshiney days we have been having here in O-town. Yes it is cooler today, but the glowing autumn sun makes up for it! As long as that snow holds off we will be happy.

We are grateful for...

All the amazing blogs that are out full of so many ideas and inspiration!  We just found and like this one..Fork and Beans is full of great vegan desserts and treats! And this one..The Glamorous Housewife! If you like vintage dressing and need some inspiration check it out. So many great ideas!

We are grateful for...

This very smart boy in the video of the Bronx Poetry Slam. He plays on words, rhymes and leaves you thinking. The poet explains how someone in his class pointed out that he was being brainwashed by his Jewish parents. Take a few minutes and listen, show it to your kids, friends etc.

We are grateful for...

Our fellow knitter who loaned all us all of  last year's copies of the magazine Taproot. It was very kind of her, as each magazine is like an art novel, full of pretty pictures and smart articles. We read them all and then subscribed. Our first one arrived today and we can't wait to check what's inside.





























What about you? Anything special you are grateful for?
