I am thankful for.....

I love to reflect on the year and what I have to be thankful for.

What tops your list this year?


I am thankful that the transition from being a mom at home to a full time grad student has gone smoothly and that I am able to learn things easier now than I did as a 20something.
Our family hasn't experienced death or had major illness.
I am thankful for the nights with my family where we shut everything off and spend time laughing in the living room together.
I am thankful for the time spend fishing, camping and hiking with friends and family.
I am thankful that I had the opportunity to ride my first century ride this summer.
I am thankful for the summer of the puppies and the experiences that it it opened up to my kids.

That's just the short list!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wonderful idea!

I'm thankful for my family -
* my DD15 who is so silly, and wonderful that I have a tough time believing that this incredible kid actually came from me!
* my DH who last night because I was not feeling well, cooked AND cleaned and thought nothing of it. He's a great guy
* my furfamily Jimmy and Kimo who constantly remind me that the best way to greet loved ones is at a full run and full wiggle.

I'm thankful I have the ability to cycle and hike the way I love to.

I'm thankful my friend who was recently diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer has had tests that showed the cancer had not spread and that she has a good chance at beating it into remission.

My good friends ***waves madly***
As much as I complain about it, I know I'm very lucky to have the job I do, and the benefits that come with it.

I woke up feeling particularly cranky and pitiful, but then reminded myself that I need to focus on all the great things in my life. I repeat Tri Girl's list as it's my short list but add my fun and loving cats to the list as well!
