Since Thanksgiving is on Thursday, I thought that it would be appropriate that we all talk about what we’re grateful for. Here’s my list:
- A husband who makes me laugh and two daughters who appear to be following in our humorous footsteps.
- My local library for providing me with reading material, even though I foolishly stayed up on Saturday night until 4 a.m. Sunday trying to finish Pat Conroy’s new book. (Entertaining, but I figured out the books big secret less than 50 pages in, so that’s kind of a bummer.)
- Starbucks for providing me with the appropriate caffeinated beverage to keep me going on only four hours of sleep on Sunday.
- Pete (again), for emailing me about this most amazing product. (Seriously. Go. Read the user comments. Laugh your butt off.)
- The Martha, for giving me blog content. I have her Christmas magazine in my grubby paws right now and you’ll be getting my thoughts on it soon.
- Our two-day work/school week, to be followed by a five-day weekend. Every week should be like that.
- My mother, for hosting Thanksgiving this year, so that I don’t have to put my hand up inside a turkey carcass. (Not that that’s why she hosts, but my giblet-free hands and I are appreciative nonetheless.)
- Y’all, for coming here every day to read my ramblings and then actually commenting on said ramblings. Thank you.
Tell me, what are YOU thankful for?
I am thankful for blogs that uplift, like yours.
Happy Thanksgiving.
What Cheri said.
I’m thankful in advance (two more weeks! maybe three!) for finishing our house construction.
I’m also thankful for the wonderful community of bloggers out there who feel like kindred spirits in this crazy world.
This morning I’m thankful for the tiny pirate who told me he was locking me in his treasure chest, because I’m his bestest treasure.
I’m thankful EVERYONE will be home by Wed. night!!
What everyone else said…Except badness jones. My somewhat larger pirate only admired my milk pouring skills..Who knew?
My #1 is also a husband and 2 kids that make me laugh.
Co-workers I really like.
My job.
My best friend since 1980.
My facebook/blog friends.
I’m thankful for a whole week off, my pile of library books, and the fact that I have all the food for Thanskgiving dinner.
for a grateful heart. It has been hardened at times, but has unthawed–something I didn’t think possible without a change in venue. . . blogs–which I only discovered this year—feeding the endless hunger to read something—and yes Jen, you have made this possible in part by putting your thoughts out “there” for me to consume!
And I thank you . . .
And further proof that we are, in fact, the same person writing 2 different blogs, I have written THE SAME POST today!
I would like to take the time to discuss in length all the reasons I am thankful, but I must go to Amazon right now and order the most amazing product in the world! Can’t wait to get mine
I want the LSWD for Christmas – I can read and eat a sandwich while I drive. Brilliant.
Hmmm, I’m thankful, as always, for my family, my health, books and blogs to read, and all my varied, wonderful and amazing friends — those I get to see every day, those I get to see occasionally, and those I hang out with in cyberspace.
Oh I have a ton of things to be thankful for, but I, too, am gonna go with what Cheri said
i heart thanksgiving, beginning of the holidays. hope yours is great.
I’m thankful for the three-day work week and the four-day weekend.
My list is very short but true – I’m so thankful for the friends and family I have.
I like your list and should add to my list the enjoyment I get from reading blogs like yours!
The comments on the lap-top steering desk were terrific! I would have laughed harder if it didn’t hurt my head so much!
Gracious friends the whole world over.
What Cheri said, for sure! And so incredibly thankful for my awesome boys and husband, my rock star sister and mom and all of my fab friends. LOVE thanksgiving!
