I hope all of you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We had a great time with Dana’s parents last evening and today we’re looking forward to a great day with friends.  We have so much to be thankful for today.

How about a list?

1.  I’m thankful for Anna Grace and how she makes me laugh.

2.  I’m thankful for the new baby and I’m so anxious to know what type of personality they will have, who they will be, what will they like or dislike, etc.

3.  I’m thankful that Dana has a job.

4. I’m thankful that we learned that unemployment is not the end of the world but I hope we never have an opporunity to learn that lesson again.

5. I’m thankful for my faith, the source of all strength.

6. I’m thankful for close friends who love you when you’re at your best and love you more when you’re at your worst.

7. I’m thankful for wool and cotton and alpaca and silk and all things fiberish.

8. I’m thankful for all of the relationships that are just beginning or have been restored or have blossomed this year.  Baby steps, baby steps.

9. I’m thankful for Reese’s Peanut Butter cups, especially the ones shaped like Christmas trees (and in the spring… Easter Eggs!).

10. I’m thankful for my child’s voice…even when I think she is talking entirely too much.  I waited so long to hear all she had to say.

11. I’m thankful for a mentally unstable cat, a obsessive/depressed dog that stalks my husband and a suicidal hamster that is nothing more than a vicious malcontent.

12. I’m thankful for Dana.  Today is our 12th anniversary.

Happy Anniversary, Dana.  Love you!!
