It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.  ~Author Unknown

It’s November, which means thanksgiving in the US this month, and lately I’ve been thinking about gratitude and thankfulness. And how important it is to say thank you for even the smallest thing. Whether it is the kindly gentleman who holds the door as you enter the bank, or your husband who has done the dishes every night this week.

Today, I’m going to quickly share three things I’m thankful for this week:

• A wonderful and supportive husband who has done the dishes a lot this week!
• Having grandparents around to take babysitting duties for when we want a night out
• For online friends and conversations on Twitter and in emails.

What are you thankful for this week?
