Thoughts on being thankful and counting our blessings

Every year when November rolls around I try to think of new things to be thankful for. New blessings that have come into my life … or in the case of this year, an old blessing that keeps giving me more and more to be thankful for.

When I asked Dylan what he was thankful for this year, his answers reminded me of how truly blessed I am to have him as my son.

Dylan is thankful for …

  • All the conservation work I have been able to do, like raising money for the tigers and watching Tiger Trail being built at the Safari Park.
  • For all the people and sponsors that made Dylan’s Animal Adventure Camp possible so that I could raise money for the Amur leopards and Snow leopards.
  • For getting Tiga as my birthday present and knowing she was a rescue. She is the best pet ever.
  • Having the privilege to be in the Presidents Association at the San Diego Zoo.
  • My home and my health.
  • That my mom took me on a Deluxe Caravan Safari so that I could see Nola.
  • For the support and encouragement I get from my friends who work at the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park.
This year I am especially thankful for my son … Life with Dylan really is inspiring.
