Cousins

I am so grateful for my many cousins. I have been spending Thanksgiving break with some of them (along with some aunts and uncles and grandparents, of course), and that has been a lot of fun. I also wish to express my gratitude for all my cousins on both sides of my family. When I consider the cousins of my generation on my mom's side on and my dad's side put together, we range in age from late 20's to about 3 years old. We represent many different personalities and viewpoints, but we are still generally very happy to see each other during family reunions great and small. Those of us with jobs and/or pursuing education have many different kinds of great and honorable work. We live across the country and do many wonderful things in our local communities. My dad's parents and my mom's parents all have many grandchildren which they are proud of. It is a blessing to have many wonderful cousins, and I am grateful for the people they are and the wonderful things they do.
