Tell Us About the People You Want to Thank This Year
Please share stories of those who have given you kind words or done deeds that helped you through 2017
For many people and in many ways, 2017 has been a difficult year. Our nation has faced a steady beat of natural disasters and terrible attacks — people have lost homes and, worse yet, loved ones. And many of us also have had personal challenges that don’t make the news. But I have found that in difficult times, it can help to look at blessings, however small they may be. In every situation, there is often some sliver of good to be found.

Do you have good neighbors? The National Guard and the American Red Cross have helped survivors of the hurricanes, as well as the Northern California fires. But you don’t have to get help from an organization to have someone for whom to be grateful. How have your neighbors helped you out this year? Please tell us in the Comments below.

Do you have a home with plenty of space? Micah and Jana Whitehead and their son, Silas, live in a tiny home in Walnut Creek, California. With 327 square feet, it’s got room enough for them. How about you? Do you have the space you need at home? And did someone help you make that home right for you and your family?
Your turn: If you have a home that is comfortable to you, please tell us who has helped you make it that way — whether a family member who taught you how to garden or a professional who helped you make your vision for your space become reality. Whom would you like to thank for helping you create your home?

So in that spirit, we’d like to hear from you. What are you grateful for from 2017? Whom do you have to thank? If you’ve been through some of these disasters yourself — or if you know someone who has — please tell us who has been helpful to you. There are heroes everywhere, and we want to hear about them.
Have you been affected by a disaster? If so, has someone helped you through this hard time? If not, what would be helpful to you right now?
