I'm thankful for:
- a God Who loves me just the way I am, even though I'm an impatient, controlling turd sometimes.
- a husband who loves me just the way I am, even though I'm an impatient, controlling turd sometimes.
- a mom who shows me how much she loves me constantly with quality time, kind words, and food.
- a dad who is patient and appreciates my patience.
- a cat who wakes me up at 4am almost every day to remind me how much I love him and that I probably miss him and should definitely pet him for a while until he's satisfied.
- a beautiful home which is full of light, love, and fun fall decorations.
- the ability to buy and store said decorations.
- a job that forces me to make an impact on lots of lives; it's up to me to make it a positive one.
- teenagers who keep me on my toes and make me go gray and stay young all at the same time.
- an aunt (technically Shawn's) who drives all the way to Colorado from Missouri to hang out for Thanksgiving.
- buying 8 different kinds of cheese in preparation for said celebration.
- a computer with a serious lack of pictures so I have a good reason for a pictureless post. :-)
- friends who allow me to be who I am, even though I can be quite odd.
- laughter.
- tears.
- Netflix, which has robbed me of social interaction recently.
- Pandora. I don't even remember what it's like to buy a CD.
- a church home which makes up for its imperfections with its huge heart.
- friends who do The Baby Thing before us so they can teach us later (much later)
- the financial stability to host Thanksgiving and consume lots of cheese and sugar.
- wine.
- worship music, though I sometimes want to strangle someone when they repeat the same 3 words over and over and over and over.
- a husband who works hard at work and at being a stellar husband.
- you, my reader, for reading through all this and making my counter go up by one. Pretty thrilling. :-)
What are you most thankful for?
