This morning I woke up to a collection of messages from my sister-in-law with photos and videos of my niece dancing and standing. Later in the afternoon I received a message from my mom about her troubles with her computer and updates on a meeting she's having this week. Earlier this week I received an email from my grandparents telling me all about their trip to Colorado. These messages and updates are fairly simple. They are something I might not have appreciated when I lived in Wisconsin (except for the photos on my niece, which always make my day) because I took for granted the ability to call up my family and spontaneously chat or the regular trips we took to spend time with family during the holidays. Living on a different continent, with time differences and technology makes those little (seemingly insignificant and severely underrated) conversations next to impossible, which means the random updates from friends and family are so incredibly cherished.
Today I am thankful for a family who loves me and who takes time out of their very busy schedules to update me on the little things in their lives.
