Gratitude Recap

The family was sitting around the dinner table (with an amazing pork roast, potatoes and asparagus – mmmm) and I took the opportunity to start a conversation.  “Let’s recap a little bit.  What are some of the things you are happy about from 2010?” It was a simple way to get 2011 started off in [...]
