A gratitude list…
Some things I’m giving thanks for today:
- The health of myself and my family.
- My husband, who believes in me more than I do in myself.
- My boys, who let me share their delight in the world.
- My parents, for braving the Thanksgiving traffic so we wouldn’t have to.
- Our freedom from material need.
- Our dishwasher, running its third load of the day.
- The easy recovery of the kitty from her surgery.
- The people who volunteered in the wind and rain this morning putting on the Turkey Trot race I ran this morning.
- The people I work with, for making it a pleasure to go to work most days, even when the policies we have to support make me want to bang my head against the wall.
- The internet, for bringing to my life so many people who I never would have met otherwise.
- All the people who are far from their loved ones today because they volunteered to serve our country, or to try to improve the lives of strangers.
- That I live in a country where I can write my opinions without fear that the government will break down my door as a result.
