It doesn't take Thanksgiving to roll around for me to feel thankful for all the many great people and things I have in my life but it does seem like a good time to jot some of my thankful thoughts down. Maybe some of the people I'm so thankful for have no idea how their actions impact my life. I try to express my gratitude but sometimes I think I do a better job at feeling thankful than expressing thankful. So here goes ...
I'm so very thankful for:
a man who whistles happy tunes, opens car doors, holds my arm as we cross the street and always goes out of his way to make me smile
a sister whose picture should be featured next to the word loyal in the dictionary
friends who drive or fly hundreds of miles just to see us because they miss me and bob... what they might not know is that we miss them more!
a friend who paints and glitters with me so that the time flies by in a flurry of happy creativity
a friend who always makes me laugh with her secret "naughty" sense of humor
an older friend who loves me so much she officially adopted me with notarized papers
team moxie.... they kick butt and take names.
wonderful siblings and their fabulously nice spouses
a mother in law who is the kindest woman I've ever met ... no wonder she gave birth to the world's nicest boy!
a friend who is always making us special dinners just because she thinks it would do us some good and she must have a crystal ball because she's always there at the perfect time.
awesome nephews and nieces who think we are cool enough to want to hang out with us
getting to do what I love to do and having some people actually like it
all of our shop friends who support us, tell their friends about us, and keep on coming back year after year. you are so appreciated!
The list could absolutely go on for miles because I really do feel thankful for so many things. But that's it for now. Happy Thanksgiving .... hope yours is the happiest of days.
I'm teary-eyed reading this. I'm so thankful for having you as my sister. (AND for having the world's best boss!)
