Getting the November post in at the last minute. Did I remember to post today because I wanted to start writing about Christmas? Well... I'm not going to say no. So I'll just say probably.
Instead of doing this once a day, I wrote it down once a day... and give it to you today. In one piece. Which is also how I like my pie - give me the whole thing. So each of these numbers is what I was thankful for that day. And each of these days made me so happy that we have a holiday where we just hang out, eat, and be thankful. What a great holiday idea...
Today I am thankful...
1: that Halloween is over so I can start
celebrating Thanksgiving.
2: that I can run.
3: for cookies.
4:
for my husband.
5: that I can apparently make friends with anyone.
6:
for my mother.
7: that the world is an interesting place, and there are always new
things to see.
8: for cars. because, seriously, 30 miles away used
to be a big deal.
9: that I am really good at making things up on the
spot.
10: for hot chocolate.
11: that great men and women keep our country
free.
12: that we have couple friends we both really like.
13: for
my sweet puppy, who seems to forget that he is a dog. and that he is
not pocket-sized.
14: for long weekends.
15: that it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
16: that we will
live here for a while (long enough for Christmas decorations at least,
and that was my request to the universe).
17: that we will not live
here forever.
18: for a good produce department.
19: for ridiculous movies, and
friends who are equally as excited to see them.
20: that sometimes marriage
means pretending to like something someone else loves.
21: that I
like my new boss, because that is hard.
22: for finding comfort after a hard day.
23: that I've found joy in
cooking.
24: for a reason to gather together with people I love. and
people I don't know. It's important to share joy.
Give Thanks this season. And start getting ready to Give Thanks for Jesus because CHRISTMAS is COMING!
