I enjoyed a wonderful break away from home and away from my blog, but it is good to be back. The only problem now- I have so many Happy things to share, I don't know where to begin!
First, I hope all my readers in the United States had a pleasant Thanksgiving. I know it is a holiday that holds some controversy, many feel like it sugar coats a particularly brutal part of our country's history, but for me it is simply a day to remind me to be grateful for the Happy things in my life. Usually, on the last Thursday in November, at whatever table I sit around to enjoy my turkey-free feast, I list the things for which I wish to give thanks. This year, I'd like to include my list here on my blog:
1. I am grateful for my health and the health of my family members and friends
2. I am grateful for my wonderful husband- he's my best friend and a hell of a kisser
3. I am grateful for my baby kitties
4. I am grateful for my parents- their generosity and sense of adventure
5. I am grateful for my brother and all the cool things he does with me
6. I am grateful for both of my sister-in-laws and my other girl friends (and guy friends too)
7. I am grateful for my passport
8. I am grateful we finally got our car back
9. I am grateful that I always have available to me a warm bed, clean water, laundered clothes, and an abundance of food
10. I am grateful for books
11. I am grateful the baby kitty came into our lives, and got a great home (I am grateful for Jess!)
12. I am grateful for my hands and my feet (I get this one ;)
13. I am grateful I have the time and means for hobbies and *frivolous* interests
14. I am grateful that I get to write this blog, and that there are people who read it
15. I am grateful to enjoy this wonderful, mysterious, phenomenal planet!
That's all for now- I am sure I have even more to be grateful for, but my laundry is finished and I have to start another load (Oh! I am so grateful for having my own washer and dryer!) I imagine that I'll be posting quite a bit between now and the end of the year to catch up for my hiatus! Until then-

Welcome back! And what a nice way to return! I too can count a washer and dryer as one of my blessings. Having ones OWN washer and dryer is one of the truly great unsung luxuries in life!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are back, too. I found myself in a bit of a void (and not in a dreamy way), and a bit unhappy without you (and your happy blog) to keep my spirits up. Please don't go away again. I will read to you if you stay... and kiss you!
ReplyDeleteAwwww. I feel the love.
