A moment to herself

A small snapshot of our tree. The Teddy Bear has a sash on that says "1982." It was given to me by my friend Jennifer Layfer many, many years ago. And the photo is of my now 4 and 1/2 year old daughter Maggie, when she was just a few days old. We have a multitude of other ornaments on the tree that bring back so many wonderful memories - kind of like a time capsule.

Last night, I was lucky enough to get to go down on to the court during the warm-ups, prior to the Bulls game, for about 45 minutes. I brought my camera and happily clicked away. Such a fun opportunity!

Gratitude 21: Our Thanksgiving table at our family's house in Kentucky (prior to the food being put out, of course). I'm grateful we have family to spend the holiday with and a wonderful meal to share. We've been very blessed this year especially in light of the challenging economic climate. I think often of those who aren't as fortunate as we are and it makes me even more appreciative of all the things we are blessed with
