A crisp, cold, dark evening wandering among leaves and glowing pumpkins... I am grateful for my neighbors again tonight. Grateful for their welcoming smiles and for the way they know my children's names, for their well kept cozy houses and the care they put into making this night magical.
I am grateful for playdates with friends and quiet moments at a coffee shop, for great big cardboard blocks and the imagination that comes with them.
I am grateful for dinner swap and the routines we depend on. I am grateful for the way these short days help to draw life into sharp perspective, and for the warmth and light we create in our homes to combat these long nights.
I am also grateful that my children aren't sick all that often, really.
