What are you thankful for?
It's a question we hear every year around this time, and whenever I think about it, I think of hundreds of things to put on my list. I think of stories where strangers have helped me. I think of the support I have from my family and friends. I think of the jobs that I love.
This year, however, I want to share how thankful I am for the people in my hometown and in Wisconsin.
First of all, I'm thankful I get to be a journalist in my hometown of Wisconsin Rapids. A lot of people in my community have become like extended family to me, and I really appreciate the support of people in my church, my friends, family and people I have interacted with over the last 30 years. It's a special feeling to be able to share stories of what's happening in the area with people in my hometown.
Secondly, I'm thankful for all of you. In the last year, I have asked you to send me random acts of kindness you saw last winter, stories about your moms, jokes from your dads and memories of your first days of school. And you never disappoint. I'm thankful that I can connect with our readers across the state and that you are willing to share your memories with me.
And on that note, I'm asking you to share what you're thankful for.
Do you have a story of something that happened that you're thankful for? Are you thankful for a friend or family member who has always been there for you? Are you thankful to have a job after struggling with unemployment? Are you thankful for your health after an illness?
Send me your stories. Brag about the best people in your life and why you're thankful for them. We want to share your heartwarming reasons to be thankful this year ahead of Thanksgiving.
