Thankful
November 25th, 2006 by amylherzog
I am thankful for so very many things. But at the top of the list, I’m thankful we’ve gone from here:
To here:
With no major illnesses, catastrophes, or even seriously hard times. We’ve had a wonderful year, and I’m so grateful we’re all still here.
I’m thankful, too, for curiosity.
And wonderful friends to share a potentially-lonely holiday with.
And love.
It’s trite. It’s overdone. But really, I’d like to know. What are you thankful for?
I think I might be thankful for Jacob, too. I’m definitely thankful for pictures that make me smile, no matter how tired or cranky I am.
I’m thankful for the internet. No seriously. When I was a kid, I used to dream about being part of a community big enough that I could afford to be picky about the people I let near me. I get pickier every day, and yet my circle of friends gets bigger, not smaller.
I’m thankful for spellcheck and semicolons; they make me happy.
I’m thankful for Fish, and his relative good health. Hm. Dabunny’s, too, actually.
I’m thankful for vaccinations and the scientific method. I’m thankful for Tums and Tylenol PM. I’m thankful for Delta Dental. I’m thankful for Google; that feels sad, somehow.
I am thankful that every day brings new words for Morgan - today’s: Butt & Cute & Melon & Please
I am thankful for a nice house (or two), a nice job (or two), healthy cars (two), healthy parents (two again), healthy husband (just one), and a good therapist.
