Beautiful Things: A List of Things to be Thankful For
This Thanksgiving will be different than last year’s. First of all, the American economy is in the toilet right now. People are losing jobs, their home, and their retirement money. This is causing millions of people a lot of stress, so it’s sometimes hard to take a pause and remember the things that we are thankful for. Well here’s my list, in no particular order except the first one.
1. My family (including my kids, my husband, my parents, my siblings and their extended families)
2. My health
3. Warm, sunny days
4. Our yearly beach house
5. Comfort foods like mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese
6. Paint
7. My DVR
8. The library—and books in general
9. Daisies
10. Hugs from my kids
11. Online shopping, because I can’t make a decision in a real store
12. The time in the early morning where I’m up and working and everyone else in my house is asleep
13. Peppermint
14. Classic movies on a rainy Sunday
15. Rainy Sundays
