I'm Thankful

I'm thankful for the safe car ride down to my parents house last night and the nice barista at SBUX who made me a tasty Espresso Truffle for the road. 'Tis officially the holiday season so I will partake of that creamy, whipped drink.

I'm thankful for cranberry relish, turkey with gravy and stuffed celery. I so can't wait for those tomorrow!

I'm thankful for a spouse who is home and not away. For all my friends and family who are not deployed.

I'm thankful for two healthy children and their two smiling faces. They drive me to drink some days but I love them anyway.

I'm thankful H is a free-range parent like myself. Because if he was all into hovering like a helicopter I would have left him by now.

I'm thankful for the drizzling rain that made for an excellent run this morning. My rain-slicked face felt fantastic as I pounded the pavement.

Finally, I'm thankful that my father stayed up late last night re-installing his Wi-Fi connection so that I could put up this post.

And now....a Thanksgiving Confession.

For a bit of Christmas come early, visit this site.
