Jacob:
I am thankful to feel peace/calm in our house because it has enough and the right spaces to contain all the complexities in our life, almost.
Marcia the Elder:
I am thankful to feel peace/calm using The Container Store, and similar organizational helpers. Organization brings peace instead of chaos. I feel better with things in order. “A place for everything, and everything in place!”
Marcia the Younger:
I am thankful to feel peace/calm when cuddling with doggy (favorite stuffed animal) and staring at the ceiling, because it just makes me feel calm and peaceful because there are pictures and I like imagining what they are doing.
I am thankful to feel peace/calm in the backyard in the middle of summer because it is nice and calm and you can just play back there without worrying about rain* just falling down on us.
Hinckley:
I am thankful to feel peace/calm with my family and friends, and at Gramma’s house**, because I get to play with LEGOs, and there are some toys that I love. They make me feel love, and peace and calm because when I finish building them I can just start playing.
Corban:
I am thankful to feel peace/calm in a place. The Earth, and playing games. I enjoy playing games, it is fun. It makes me feel like Dad [doesn’t***] wants me out of his office.
* We have plenty of summer rain in the Midwest…hum.
**Even though, they live in the same town, kids probably haven’t been to their house, but one or two times in 2020 due to schedule conflicts at the start of the year, and then the whole pandemic rules and stuff.
*** I am pretty sure he meant to have that word in there, because he definitely does not like the feeling of being sent out of his dad’s office. So, chances are he is thankful for the times he is allowed to be in the office.
