last night as a family we watched the movie "i am sam".
i remember watching it back in 2001 when it first came out, but i had forgotten the full impact of this amazing movie. i cried through its entirety and thought about all the things in my life that made me who i am today. feeling heartache and learning to see life through the beautiful eyes of my daughter have made me so thankful. i am so thankful for so many things in this wonderful life, but finding the ability to be thankful wasn't easy. this has been a year of growth, emotion, heartache, stress, tears and joy all wrapped up into a new found life of acceptance, love, more love, and more tears.
so, today on this day of giving thanks i think of the beautiful people out there who make a difference in our world and live life filled with love and happiness, just like "sam".

This is beautiful, Kelley. There is nothing quite like the heart-opening feeling of gratitude...and holding loved ones close.

I hope you and your sweet family spill over with love for each other today. Happy Thanksgiving, my friend. Eat, drink, be merry!
Thank you. I'll watch it again soon.
