Give Thanks for the little things! What is something you are Thankful for?

- I am thankful for Cherry Coke Zero. I couldn't make it through life without it!  

- I am thankful for The ability to Google any question. How did we live without the internet?

- I am thankful for Unconditional love and Uncontrollable laughter that exudes from my house this time of year. - Melissa

- I am thankful for fringe benefits! I love working for an organization that will allow me to work from home if I have a sick child...Thanks IPUL!

- I am thankful for the library. My oldest son frequently flips through the first few chapters of several books before finally settling on one to read all the way through and the Main Library has such a good selection. 

- I am thankful for liquid medicine. Sometimes medicine is just too hard to swallow and I am so happy that in some cases there are liquid alternatives that I can give my kids. It's just one less thing to worry about. -Allison

- I am thankful for coffee, without it I wouldn't be able to create words.

- I am thankful for being able to be a part of IPUL for almost a year. 

- I am also very thankful for Ms. Rachel, she helps distract the kids when I need to focus on my work haha. -Amanda

Happy Thanksgiving
