Thanksgiving 2014

This year we are home and, considering the weather around us, very thankful to be here.

I have been reflecting this week on being thankful and I know I have a lot to be thankful for.

I am thankful for my family both by blood and by choice. They are there for me even when I don’t know I need them and especially when I do. I don’t think I say “I love you” enough to them. So I love you and you know who you are.

I am thankful for my abilities as varied as they are. This year I had some challenges that put my abilities to the test. I passed for the most part.

I am thankful for my friends. I have a great group of friends who I love very much. I enjoy interacting with them both in real life and on line.

I am thankful for my pets. We have three cats again since we added Inky to the mix. Three cats does mean one more litter box and more kitty politics but Inky has been more of a joy than a pain and has become part of our family.

I am thankful for a roof over my head, heat, hot water, and electricity. There are too many who don’t have that.

I am thankful for all the travel we have done this year. We have gone some pretty cool places and done some awesome things.

I am thankful I got the turkey when I did. When I went back there were none to be had in the size I need.

I am thankful we didn’t get any snow where we are. Just cold and a bit windy.

I am thankful so many things and I am grateful that I have so many things to be Thankful for.
