Thankful

All month I've seen my Facebook friends posting the things they're thankful for each day. I was going to wait until Thursday to post my list, but we'll all be eating and laughing and watching football with our families on Thursday instead of checking blogs, so I decided to post it today (tomorrow I'll be posting the final lesson in the 12 Weeks to Better Photos course). In no particular order, here's my list of things I'm thankful for:

(1) My husband. He's my very best friend and my life wouldn't be the same without him.
(2) My dogs. They bring me joy everyday.
(3) Blankets. Especially of the electric variety. Really, anything that keeps me warm when it's cold outside.
(4) The ability to laugh at myself and the capacity (and opportunity!) to do it often.
(5) My husband's new love of fake meat products. Tofurkey and fake corndogs, and he's 90% vegetarian!

(6) My family. I don't know what I'd do without them.
(7) That Virginia doesn't have BSL. I'd move across the country to keep my dogs if I had to, and I hate moving.
(8) Comfort movies. You know, the ones that you can watch over and over again and you still like them.
(9) Health. My own and that of my friends and family.
(10) My iPod & the podcasts, songs, and photos it holds.

(11) My friends. Both old and new alike.
(12) My hands. They allow me to hug the ones I love and create the things I imagine.
(13) Snuggly pit bulls. They are the best stress relief I know. Better than prozac, yoga, and therapy combined.
(14) Financial stability. It's fun to spend money, but the security of saving it is even better.
(15) My station wagon. It may be a "mom-mobile" but I love being able to haul around whatever I want.

(16) My camera. If I had known how much fun I'd have taking photos I would have done it a long time ago.
(17) DVR. So much TV, so little time.
(18) The enduring generosity of others. Especially that of my friends and family.
(19) The internet. It brings me knowledge, friends, and entertainment everyday.
(20) My mother. She is an amazing role model.



(21) My home. It's a work in progress, but it keeps me and my family safe and warm at night.
(22) My vet. His personal interest in keeping my dogs healthy is so comforting to a worry-wart like me.
(23) Really big cups of water. I drink a lot and it's nice to not to refill a glass 20 times a day.
(24) My feet. Walking, running, or dancing, they've always taken me where I want to go.
(25) Having the means to help others.

(26) My brains. I'm smart, and I'm thankful that I know how to find out the things I don't know (yet).
(27) Vegetable fajitas. Often the only meatless meal at restaurants that I can eat, and it's oh so tasty.
(28) My job. I'm good at it and it shows.
(29) The library. Free books are awesome.
(30) Love.

What are you thankful for?

Happy (early) Thanksgiving!
