Thanksgiving Thursday Thirteen
|
I can’t believe it’s Thursday already–but I can smell the food cooking, so it must be Thanksgiving. Ugh, what a week. Anyway, here’s what I’m thankful for–Jaci did a “who” I’m thankful for TT last week, but I thought I’d be zany and list some things I can’t live without. (rather than getting sappy…) 1…..okay, sappy for #1–I’m thankful for all the people who love me, and most especially, all the people who love me but don’t have to–and of course, for those who don’t love me, but tolerate me. Boy, that’s a job! 2…..I’m thankful for electricity and running water 3…..I’m thankful for Hersheys, because a girl’s gotta have her chocolate 4…..I’m thankful for all the women who came before me and read, and wrote, romance, so I could have the broad genres and kick ass books I find today 5…..I’m thankful for the internet, because it has put me in touch with some of the best friends I could ever have 6…..I’m thankful for Ipods, because I can put on those earpods and forget the rest of the world exists 7…..I’m thankful for my imagination and the fact no one ever put limits on my dreams 8…..I’m thankful I live where I do, because I couldn’t imagine not having the change of seasons, the gorgeous lake and the fresh country air (okay, so I gotta drive 15 minutes to get outta the city–but it’s close and I know it) 9…..I’m thankful for the soldiers here and overseas protecting me & my family (and all of you) 10…..I’m thankful for fluffy socks, magic scarves and stretch gloves, because they make me feel warm 11…..I’m thankful for my daughter’s weirdness, because I know she’s a normal teen 12…..I’m thankful for what I don’t have, because then I can make goals and have something to live for 13…..and finally, I’m thankful for caffeine. I need to get more… Okay, so that wasn’t as goofy as I expected to get, but I did want to add contact lenses, girlie razors, post it notes and modern cars to that list. |

Melanie I love your list! I’m very thankful for girly razors and chocolate too. The world is a much safer place because of those items.

Great list.
Those are all wonderful things to be thankful for. 
As a military wife, I thank you for #9 on your list. I also like #13 on your list – I don’t think I could survive without my caffeine! 
Although I celebrated Thanksgiving last month (Canadian Thanksgiving is in October), I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving.
