I’ve noticed there’s a trend on Facebook this November. Every day, certain friends of mine update their status by saying something for which they are thankful. I think that’s a really great idea, because anything that reminds us about all the many blessings in our lives, however small, makes us stronger.
Being that tomorrow is Thanksgiving, I thought I’d do something similar, because, well, I am feeling rather thankful at the moment.
My kids, who are wise beyond their years, and who have worked hard this week to prepare our house for the insurgence of people coming for Thanksgiving dinner (looking at 35+).
My husband, who works extra hard to provide our family with the things we need, and other things we just want. Like turkey and pie. And who also offered to brave Black Friday if I need him. (Don’t worry, honey, I’m taking the girls.)
Friends who stand by me and cheer me on and who would break me out of jail if ever I needed. (You know who you are!)
Stephenie Meyer for creating books that were turned into movies that my girls insisted on seeing at 12:29 on a school night last week, because movies like that aren’t nearly as fun without screaming, excited girls who are hopped up on sugar and caffeine.
The Baltimore Ravens for letting us in their stadium (last fall) to look around, and then gave us all hats and footballs and signed team pictures. We became life-long fans that day, and now you’re looking at Super Bowl possibilities. This makes us happy.
Hawaii—because it exists and gives us something to dream about.
Publishing companies who produce quality books that make us love to read and who give writers a goal for which to strive. And also, for giving me a reason to stay up all night because I just have to see what happens next.
Blue glow sticks, rock candy lollipops, and Thunder—the Australian kind. Oh, and also peanuts.
Steve Jobs for inventing…well, pretty much all things Apple. But specifically, my iPhone.
**To be continued**
What are you Thankful for this year?

That's a great list of blessings to be thankful for. I love that you're thankful for Hawaii because it exists. I have so many things to be thankful for! But I think Jesus Christ tops the list. Have a great Thanksgiving with all your family! Hope it's a blast.
