Family

I have what one might say a "modern family" which as one of ten children can have its ups and downs. And I know that we are heading into Thanksgiving season and then Christmas but I really am thankful for each and every one of them. We definitely do not get along a lot of the time and could maybe make a David Sedaris book on the episodes of our life stories but not for one minute would I replace that for anything else in the world.

On the other hand, while I was growing up I was not so proud of what I believe to be my most cherished asset in life. This has been hurting me so much lately as I have been working with some very low socio-ecomic children. I almost feel guilt that I didn't realize what I have and see that they do not realize what they don't have in life.
