Happy Thanksgiving!

Soon, most of you will be gathered around your friends and family, celebrating another opportunity to be together. I'm pretty sure that it seems like it was just March, a couple months ago. In the blink of an eye, it whooshes by. In the blink of an eye, lives are changed forever. In the blink of an eye, the toddler you cherished becomes a teenager that's barely recognizable and an adult with a family of their own. In the blink of an eye, you have gray hair, need glasses and you just want to wear comfy shoes. In the blink of an eye, the world has become so small. Things are changing so quickly. It's important to stop every now and then and think about how much you have. What makes you smile. How lucky you are to be loved.

I am thankful/grateful for;

Amazon's unlimited music
Kindle's unlimited reading
You Tube videos of goats - pygmy, fainting, kids, you name it, they're all funny as hell.
Social media - so I know what's going on w/my peeps
Laughter
Costco's Kirkland brand Margarita - the BEST flavor in a bottle, hands down
Fitbit - because sitting is the new smoking
More babies!!!
A great produce department at the local grocery store
Sunglasses
Red Vines - no, throw those Twizzlers away!
My smartphone - for everything
Live entertainment - you know I mean Garth Brooks, right? :-)
Good water right out of the faucet
Country roads - because sometimes the world is just too peopley
Modern medicine/dentistry
Sweet tea
A really good Reuben, with extra sauerkraut
Hobby Lobby - quilling, needle felting, painting, cross stitch, coloring books...ahhhhh
Hyacinths, sunny days, sparkling snow, but especially Autumn
Netflix
2 great dogs that make us laugh several times a day

Every single day, I'm profoundly thankful for another cancer free year for my mom and husband. Every single day, I'm thankful for my job; friends, the family you choose for yourself; more than I need; a car to take me wherever I want to roam; a cozy home to start and end my journey every day; good health; family, challenging and difficult at times, but all mine. I've felt loved, my whole life. I'm pretty lucky.

Bee happy. It's a wonderful life, 

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
