Thanksgiving 2009

Welcome once again to my annual “I’m thankful for” list. Can you believe this is the 11th year I’ve done this? I’m happy to say that my distribution list grows longer every year.

There are so many things to be thankful for every day, that sometimes it’s hard to just pick out some of them. I’ve done my best though.

How about you? Do you have a list? If you don’t, this year I want you to think of 11 things that you’re thankful for. Imagine, if everyone did that, the world would be a much happier place, don’t you think? Remember, blessings and thank yous are free!

Here is my list of 11;

1. I’m super duper thankful that my Mom celebrated her 1 year anniversary being cancer free!

2. I’m so thankful for all the family and friends who traveled to Las Vegas last January to help me celebrate turning 50! Now that was big fun!

3. I’m thankful to have celebrated 2 decades of wedded bliss last June. Even the not so blissful moments are okay.

4. I’m thankful for my new sister-in-law and that my baby brother finally found his own wedded bliss. Love rocks!

5. I’m thankful that I can find something to laugh at every single day.

6. In my corner of the world I’m thankful that we are content and that we have everything we need and lots of things we don’t. It’s a nice feeling.

7. I’m thankful for live entertainment. I love concerts and plays. I love them combined too! (that makes it a musical)

8. I’m also thankful that the whole family consists of a bunch of NON-smokers. It’s the greatest thing!

9. I’m thankful that I am loved, especially on my worst days when my head is full of snarky comments.

10. Everyone in our family did some traveling this year and everyone made it back home, so I’m thankful that God keeps us safe.

11. And last but not least, I’m thankful for Vanilla Coke Zero, chive fries w/ranch dressing, Autumn leaves, sunny days, fuzzy slippers on chilly mornings, my MP3 player, Jelly Belly’s, email jokes, Chef Boyardee Ravioli, our jobs, Costco, 2 silly dogs, Hershey’s candy cane kisses, books, 24/7 Christmas music on 107.9, and each of you, all of who contribute to the happiness to my life.

I hope you all have a fantastic Thanksgiving!

Bee thankful, life is full of joy


Love,
Cynthia
