What are you Thankful for this year?

I am thankful for a year of ups and downs. YES, it's how we learn all about life, love, business and of course ourselves. I had a very successful and BUSY spring with many design clients and oh yeah, TWO interns! Whew, was it crazy. Then as the kids got out of school and a wonderful two week summer vacation to Florida (Disney too) I started to slow down. I really started to think about all of the "to do's" and the "want to's" in my life. As kids started back to school and business was a little slow, I started focusing on myself and my own home. I am still in this process but THANKFUL for the clarification I truly needed. I feel BLESSED by God that I had both of these times this year. Maybe I will learn from them and try to keep a better balance. Something I know we all strive to do!
