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.
