Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!  Gratitude is good for us!  Here are eleven things I am grateful for:

1.     My crazy family.  All of them.  Even at their worst, or my worst.

2.     Friends who fill my heart and who make me laugh and who kick my butt when needed.

3.     Dogs, especially Cricket.

4.     Pens and papers, books and pictures.

5.     Loud music.

6.     Movement:  swimming, yoga, walking, biking, dancing, pillow-fighting, hopping up and down.

7.     Sweaters and sweater weather.

8.     Yarn, to play with and to wear.

9.     Work I love.

10.  Mashed potatoes.

11.  The world outside.
