I am  thankful for having a husband who is supportive of me while I finish  school. I\u2019m also grateful for his loving warm family who has accepted me  as who I am.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Julia wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>My older sister is the person I looked up to, wanted to be or at least  dress like when I was small. When I was young, she was bossy, mean &amp;  impatient with me.  Once we were young adults &amp; became friends \u2013 it  seemed implausible \u2013 but I found it hard to get through a day without  her counsel or just the sound of her voice on the phone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And my hubby, John, wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For the Beatles and Seuss and Newvine and mom.<br \/>\nFor P. S. Hoffman and Andrea Tom.<br \/>\nFor Paul and Art and the Everly Brothers<br \/>\nFor Marconi and Bell and Sinatra and others.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Margaret wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I am grateful for the color pink: all shades of it, from  screaming-hot-almost-orange to cool-subdued-almost-purple.  Pink is a  sunset, a bunny\u2019s nose, a tropical bird or a Hawaiian lei.  Little girls  in pink hair ribbons.  Hello Kitty dancing through my daughter\u2019s  bedroom.  Pink is rosy is optimism is promise is glowing health.  Pink  is fresh new blooms and when I feel like winter will never end, all I  need to do is wear a pink sweater, or put on my warm pink slippers, and  suddenly spring flowers aren\u2019t so far away.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Amy wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I am grateful for my DVR because it allows me to watch Michigan football  games, no matter what my toddler is doing. Throughout the first half on  Saturday, I was able to hit the pause button any time he needed  crackers or water or milk or his froggy or a book or \u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sara wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Among things, I am grateful for the key pocket on my running tights.  It\u2019s a small thing, but it makes me feel so FREE when I run. If it only  held keys, it wouldn\u2019t be THAT exciting. But, for example, yesterday I  used it to hold my debit card, my lipgloss, my Kiehl\u2019s eye cream, $20,  AND my keys.
