Being thankful on Nov. 1

A lot of my Facebook friends, namely Joan Concilio and Courtney Cashour, will spend this month posting what they're thankful for every day. Since I can't figure out how to schedule Facebook posts, I'm going to knock this out in one rip. Nov. 1. For the first time, I can be thankful for having a son. Michael has given us so many things to be thankful for. His smile. His hugs. The way he makes other people smile. The way he cries whenever he sees Randy Parker. The past 11 months have brought so many unexpected joys.
