When I sat down to Thanksgiving lunch with my family today, I sort of felt silly because the first thing that ran through my head was that I was thankful that we were having ham instead of turkey. (I know, I know, the crazy tangents my mind goes off on!)
But then I straightened up and thought about the things I truly am thankful for...
1. My daughter. I am thankful each and every day that God blessed me with such a wonderful child.
2. My amazing family and friends
3. My great students. Believe me, a great set of students is a true blessing.
4. The fact that I love my job. Jobs are hard to come by as it is right now and I am lucky enough to have one I absolutely love.
5. My books, short stories and other writings. I hope to have the opportunity to share them with everyone at some point.
I'm sure there are a gazillion other things that I'll think about later. But regardless, Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!!
So, what are you thankful for this year?
I am thankful for:
ReplyDelete* my two kids without whom I'd feel lost and empty inside
* my HEALTH, for after having had 3 major surgeries in 4 months, I finally feel "normal" and am healthy again
* peace of mind
* joy in my heart
* contentment in my day
* a roof over my head
* a warm bed to sleep in
* more food than one person should eat
* friends that I can count on
* things that make me smile
* and the ability to find joy in nature, and simple little things
I am thankful for:

ReplyDeletei'm thankful for sweatpants, t-shirts, and ponytail holders :)
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful that we live in a society where sweatpants, t-shirts and ponytail holders are acceptable outside of the house clothing!
ReplyDeletewell you see i never think about it that in depth...... gee thanks :(
ReplyDeleteOK, so let me rephrase that...I'm glad that we live in a society that isn't so pretentious and comfortable is acceptable. It's what's on the inside that counts, not the outside. Plus, I do my best work wearing sweats. Comfort=creativity : )
