As we all know, being thankful should happen more than one day a year. That said, here is a list of both serious, and not-so-serious-but-still-awesome, things I'm thankful for.
- Good people - family, friends, strangers
- Bacon
- Fresh water - to drink and bathe in
- The gym (I have a feeling I'm going to be ouch-ing tomorrow... I'm still wiggly from my chest sets today)
- So many different genres of music to suit my mood
- Farm-to-table restaurants (including, but not limited to) Moxy and Pigtail
- Humbling moments to remind us we are humans when we often feel that we are gods
- Events in our lives that make us remember that we are loved when we feel unlovable
- Imagination and creativity
- Stories to share at bedtime with my son
- Cars - even though mine is on its way out
- Garages to park my car in when it snows
- The anticipation of picking out a Christmas tree to adorn our small apartment with
- Grocery store
- Opportunity to make a difference
- Faith
- Hope
- The ability to learn
- The ability to teach
- Sadness to make you appreciate joy that much more
- Technology that has improved everyday life
- Sunsets
- Bonfires and beverages
- S'mores with all the fixin's (Reese's PB Cups, Hershey's milk and dark is a great start)
- Nonsensical laughter of a 7 year old
- Shelter to stay out of the weather
- Razors to save my neck from that agonizing itch
- Family values, truth, honesty
- Past, present, and future defenders of our country
- Senses: The sound of the ocean, the glow of the moon, the smell of decaying leaves, the pant of a dog, the feel of fresh flannel sheets on a cold winter night.
There are so many more 'small things' that we overlook, and while we are told that we shouldn't sweat them, perhaps we shouldn't disregard them either. Feel free to add your own 'thankfuls' in the comments. I would love to see them!
Have a safe and wonderful holiday, everyone.
