There's no real rhyme or reason to the order of the things I am thankful for on the list. Things popped into my head and I wrote them down. I even started to leave the lovelies off because that one sort of goes without saying. But then I decided I should include them anyway.
Ok, enough rambling on and on.
I'm thankful:
- That I have a roof over my head.
- That I have running water (hot and cold) and electricity.
- For my sweet Tucker.
- For the four best daughters a mother could ever hope for.
- For my brother, T. And, sometimes, I'm thankful for the other two as well. :)
- That my parents were (and continue to be) non-drinkers.
- That I have a job I absolutely ADORE no matter how frustrating and stupid the district is.
- That I work with some of the BEST in education.
- That there is humor in every part of my life on a daily basis.
- That I am healthy enough to begin running at my age.
- That I have a washer and dryer in my house.
- That I learn something new every day.
- For my friends, whom I love.
- For my blog.
- For dear memories of my wonderful grandparents.
Very nice list. But now I am sooo curious to what #30 will be.... :)
ReplyDeleteVery sweet, gratitude is something that I think so many times we forget to focus on. When we pay attention to what we are thankful for it just makes for a better day. I look forward to you second half. I have enjoyed your little corner of the world since I found you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice list! I like them all. I am glad you wrote down your list. It reminds me of things I have taken for granted. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteA great list!! I didn't start a thankful list, either, but it's nice to see!!
ReplyDeleteLove your list! It's important to do these lists so we see how blessed we are.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice list. I didn't put one out there anywhere this year, but I am keeping one in my head. Still counts : ) Will you have lovelies in the house for Turkey Day?
ReplyDeleteKim- Well, we'll find out on the 30th. IF I don't have to change it, that is. LOL
ReplyDeleteconfessions- You are so right! And so sweet! Thank you!
Kim- Thanks! I wasn't going to do one but, sometimes, I just need to sit back and realize that I do have so much to be thankful for.
Terri- Thanks! I needed to be reminded.
Debby- So true!
Joyce- Absolutely it does! Only two will be here for Thanksgiving. But we will all be together for Christmas--except for Birdie. She and Evan are going to his extended family in Indiana. I've learned to take what I can get. I haven't learned to like it. But I have learned to take it. Ha!
Interesting list...especially having a washer and dryer!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteThe simple things. I love it. Just like me!
ReplyDeleteJP- I had to do without for just a bit YEARS ago. I hope I never have to do without them again. EVER!
ReplyDeleteBarb- Yes indeed!
