I am very, very good at finding problems. While this serves me well at work (because at least there I am also pretty good at finding solutions) it is more often than not a hindrance in real life.
But today is Thanksgiving day, and so in the spirit of the day here is a list, by no means exhaustive, of the things I am so very thankful for:
- Rob and Sara
- Nanci and CJ, Sharon, Tony, Kelli and Dani
- Mom and Dad, and everything (tangible and not) they left behind for us
- Grammy and her safe recovery
- Kathy, Skip, Trish, Ray, and Grampa Bill
- My family - all of them
- My community
- The generosity of friends
- My brother-in-law, alive and well in Iraq
- Watching Sara grow up and into herself
- The anticipation of Christmas
- Friends who never stray
- A stable job with a steady paycheck
- A safe place to live with a warm bed for sleeping
- Gardens, and all that they provide
- The promise of a finished home (some day at least!)
- Fond memories (like this, this, this, and this and this)
- Safe travels
- Second chances
- Third chances
- Good books
- The Good Book
- Grace enough
- Stories of survival (like this one)
- The blue and white plates hanging in my grandmother's dining room
- The first sip of coffee in the morning
- My cat Pete (the best cat ever)
- Our new fluffy warm blanket
- Pretty autumn days
- Catching the perfect picture of Sara
- Our new little tree
- Good health
- Love, love love
How about you?
