So I've been inspired by all you people posting thanks every day. I'm not diligent enough to do it every day but here's a list of 22 things I'm thankful for:
1. My husband - this is a belly button answer but its true. Walker is the most amazing thing in my life. He's my rock, my inspiration, my best friend and my person. He tests my strengths and my weaknesses and always challenges me to be a better person
2. My family - all of my moms and all of my dads and everyone in between. I'm so thankful to have such a wonderful beautiful crazy large and expansive family and I would trade them for the world.
3. To be an American - the recent election has brought to my thoughts exactly what it means to be an American. And although the outcome is one I didn't support I'm thankful for the opportunity I had to vote and for the right to voice my opinions.
4. A warm car in the morning - this one kind of falls under husband. It's been cold out and my sweet husband starts my car for me so its warm when I drive to work.
5. My job - I absolutely love my job from what I do to the people I work with.
6. Our home - I love our home that we've made for ourselves and the shelter it provides from the world
7. My friends - I've never been one to have a big group of friends and prefer to get to know a few people really well than a lot of people not so well. For those friends in my life I am truly thankful.
8. Technology - It baffles me how people got along without technology and technology itself amazes me. I love all my gadgets and am thankful I am fortunate enough to have some.
9. My education - I love school and learning new things. And at this time I'm thankful to be able to continue my education with graduate school.
10. Hot tea/coffee - With the weather getting cold my all time favorite things are hot drinks to warm me up. I've taken a recent liking to green tea with honey.
11. Boots and other winter wear - winter is quickly approaching and it's currently snowing outside so it's time to bust out the boots and coats.
12. Books - I love love love to read pretty much anything. And am thankful for this escape from everyday life.
13. Health - knock on wood walker and I are very healthy and try to live healthy lifestyles to maintain that.
14. Grandparents - I already said family but I'm especially thankful for all my grandparents and the opportunity I've had to develop close relationships with all of them.
15. In laws - another family one but my in laws are awesome, I couldn't have found better people to marry into if I searched the whole world round.
16. Fiscal blessings - I'm truly thankful that walker and I are fortunate not to struggle financially.
17. Handy hubby - having a handyman around is awesome. Our bathroom sink had pretty much ceased its ability to drain and this weekend he cleaned out the drain. Made my whole day.
18. Sunday afternoons - my favorite time of the week. We generally spend this time relaxing and preparing for the week to come. I cherish this quality time with the hubby and recharging my mojo.
19. Jobs - for walker and I in general. I'm thankful we both have good jobs in a time when they are sparse.
20. Walker is thankful that I'm writing a thankful blog so he doesn't feel obligated to.
21. Health insurance - I took the big step and enrolled in an insurance plan today something I've been unable to do and have gone without for a few years.
22. Life in general - life is good and beautiful and messy and crazy and amazing. I love my life and wouldn't trade anything in it for the world!
Just a side note. This list was a little difficult and not because I'm not thankful for things but the opposite. I'm thankful for everything and everyone in my life. Happy thanksgiving everyone I hope your holidays are wonderful!
