Thanks for starting this!

I am thankful for:
- my family!

- a committed and wonderful wife

- a daughter blossoming into a beautiful (and responsible) young woman

- a son who is my best buddy

- my mom who is flourishing in sobriety after joining AA
- a job that I have the capacity to do even in the challenging current state of the world,
- the frustrating mess in the kitchen...it shows we have a vibrant home
- the ability to be active resulting in the best cholesterol reading in the last 10 years

I'm thankful for a life that gives me time to do the things that matter to me.
My BF, who is totally cool.
My kitties, here, gone, and going. I love them all.
My brother, who will do anything for me, no questions asked.
My friends, who make every day fun.
My dad, who lives each day like it's his last. He inspires me.
My mother, who I remember on this day, singing and dancing with the turkey. She still makes me laugh.
My step mother, for taking good care of my father.

There are so many things to be thankful for, and I try to remember that every day. But this is one I'm particularly thinking of today:

--my little grand-fetus, who has made it through the scariest weeks (20, and 24) that his big brother had trouble with, and I'm thankful for this very strong intuitive sense in me that he will make it well past the 30-week mark (unlike his big brother) and be a full-term baby.

--I'm thankful that his big brother will be here tonight, all of 3-1/2, in perfect health and, dare I say, superior intelligence, in spite of what he had to go through to get there.

--And that their mother, my DIL, has grown into the wonderful woman I always knew she could be.

Wow. So many things to be thankful for (in no particular order):

A roof over my head
Employment
Being able to periodically indulge in buying toys
A wacky, warm, weird, supportive family
Ditto for friends
Ditto my SO
Ditto my work "family"
Chloe & Hunter
Relatively good health

Sigh. My house got robbed this week and they took my flat screen tv. They had to have seen it through the big bay window I have if they were circumventing the periphery because you can't see it from the road. Fortunately not much else was taken and there was little damage. This is the first time someone did a B&E in anything I lived in. It's creepy. I have to say I was a little spooked that first night. Two other houses in the neighborhood got hit as well. You think your home is a safe abode. That feeling is gone now, and the vulnerability of the locks in my house are quite pronounced. I am in a prime spot, farther off the road in a wooded area where it is easy not to be seen. But one can easily see if my car is not in the drive. I always knew it could happen, I just never really thought it would.

However, I am thankful I have a house. I am thankful for the warm wonderful friends I have who treat me so well.

I am thankful that I have a good job to keep the house. And I found out the day after it happened I am in line for a nice bonus. In tough economic times I never expected that.

Although it makes me real angry, nothing of value really, was taken. A flat screen can be replaced. I have homeowners insurance. I still have the meaningful things. And, no one got hurt. I didn't get hurt. Except for when I took a tumble down the steps the next morning on the icy steps to check to see if anything from the shed was stolen. So, I am thankful my exercise and bone density held off any bones from fragmenting. Slammed down hard on my forearm/elbow and my lower back. Thought for sure I would crack something.

I am always thankful for the health I have.

They didn't steal my bikes.

And lastly. They did not steal my turkey. That allowed me to continue to cook a very delicious Thanksgiving meal for my parents and allowed me to have a warm wonderful dinner with them. I am entirely thankful that I have two healthy parents in their early 80's who are still with me.

I don't know if I missed this somewhere, but I just want you to know that I am very happy for you and that it made me smile!
