I Am Thankful...

(a partial list in very random order)

for pot roast and yorkshire pudding

I am not afraid of spiders

for finding my voice

I know how to swim

for my family and all of the children who are so grown up

that one out of the five artichokes I planted survived in spite of me

I am healthy

for being a little crazy

for the sound and the scent of the ocean

I am a girl and can dress in fancy clothes

for work that makes this world a better place

I married a man who loves to dance

I am warm and dry at night

for my little sister who thinks I made a difference in her life

I am frugal but not cheap

I can't remember the last time I was bored

for the feeling of sunshine on my face

Johnny Depp keeps making movies

for good friends who don’t judge me

I don't have to commute to work

that every year I get a little wiser

for nature in all her splendor

I can laugh at myself

for old movies, good books and decadent desserts

my hair likes the rain

I am still learning

for our homegrown tomatoes which last until Thanksgiving

I am so loved!
