Turkey Day
Every year at Thanksgiving my girlfriends and I exchange emails talking about what we’re thankful for. Isn’t that a great tradition? I don’t know how long that’s been going on, but they started mentioning it about a month ago, so I know they’re already thinking about their Thanksgiving email.
Here’s what mine looks like this year:
I’m thankful for my husband (hey, its my blog, I can gush if I want to). He constantly amazes me with his tremendous drive to not only succeed, but to be the best. He is also the kindest man I’ve ever met, and probably the only man alive who loves to cuddle. (sorry babe! But its true )
I’m thankful for my job. Mostly I’m thankful because it makes me REALLY appreciate my time outside of work. But, it does afford me a free graduate education at a great school, and enough money to go out and travel. Oh, and a free turkey dinner from the cafeteria every Christmas.
I’m thankful for school. It is the black hole that has consumed my life, but I know some day it’ll be worth it. I hope.
I’m thankful for the puppies. They smell bad and they walk on the back of my feet through the house just to get my attention, but they sure are great to come home to when I’ve had a rough day. Dogs are the best. Especially Karma D. Bear. Love that pooch.
I’m thankful for the gorgeous state that I live in. I can be in forest, desert, sand, heat, snow, pine trees, or cactus in a matter of hours. (Now I just wish we could figure out how to get those freaking snowbirds to not figure out how great AZ is. Slow-moving pains in the .)
I’m thankful for my friends. Sometimes things are rocky, but I appreciate all of them for their differences. I’m lucky to have so many beautiful people in my life. And I’m lucky that I have friends for any occasion: partying, camping, shopping, partying, Rocky Point, hiking, gossiping, eating, partying, volleyball, traveling, partying
I’m thankful for my family. No one could ever say that my family is normal, but they are MY family, and I love them.
Happy Thanksgiving!
