Stuff I'm thankful for:
- My
shitheadwonderful boyfriend who does so much for me (even if he can't remember anything I tell him). - My grandma who takes care of me and always sends me money when I need it most (and least expect it).
- My grandfather surviving a severe stroke and being able to eat with us on Thanksgiving.
- My (other) grandmother for taking care of my grandfather while he is recovering from his stroke.
- My birthday being yesterday and not actually on Thanksgiving this year (next year, that's a different story).
- Having the same birthday as my grandmother (the one taking care of Pawpaw).
- My nice, safe, well-running vehicle (which is still under warranty--yay!).
- Having a warm, safe place to live.
- Having a fireplace and building cozy fires.
- Having a job and actually getting great benefits (even if the pay isn't very good).
- My full refrigerator/freezer.
- My heathen dog that is always happy to see me no matter what I've done.
- My flannel sheets and down comforter, featherbed, and down pillows.
- Still having my guns (for a little while longer at least).
- My mom always commenting on my blog posts.
- My two frequent readers on my blog.
- Dad #2 (Travis' dad) being a cancer survivor and being cancer free!
- A super short commute to work.
- Making a new friend where I thought one would never exist.
- Football games on holidays.
- Christmas being right around the corner.
- My Cubby Snowman inflatable.
- All the Christmas dinners, parties, and get-togethers with friends and family coming up.
- Just having a moment with those I love.
- New jeans that fit just right.
- Sweaters and soft sweatshirts.
- Pajama pants and flannel shirts.
- Someone to sit on my feet and keep them warm.
- Being able to buy some Christmas gifts, even if we don't have a lot.
- Making gifts that come from the heart, instead of buying everything.
- Almost being finished with my Christmas shopping before Thanksgiving.
- Turning off my phone/email for the weekend.
What are you thankful for?
Note: Yes, that is my pathetic excuse for artwork. And, yes, that is my midget hand. Thank you very much.
I'm thankful that I have a family again to spend the holidays with.
ReplyDeleteYeah, unfortunately, we weren't there. Didn't even get to go to birthday lunch with us. But, thanks for my stuff. I really like it.
ReplyDeleteI remember drawing hand turkeys in kindergarten. My mom still has mine.
