Thinking Thankful

Tis the season for giving thanks- so here's what's popped into my head this month.

I'm thankful I have a job.

In this economy, that's a real blessing.

Especially one where I like both the work and the people.
Really?  People can do that??  Awesome.

I'm grateful I can paint my walls my favorite blue.
Since I pretty much have to live in the condo forever, it's a good thing it turned out cute.

I am thankful for my car.
It's the Prius' 6th birthday.  She sure is a good sport.  She has more than 106,000 miles and is still a great investment.  I especially love driving in the carpool lane all by myself.

But I am also grateful for walking.
A friend crutched over for dinner 2 weeks post ACL replacement.  It reminded me that the summer I had that done was the most tedious of my life and I'm so thankful it's over.  And I really enjoy walking with my friends every week- how else would we solve the problems of the universe?

I was glad to visit Utah.
Especially for a joyful occasion like the marriage of an old friend from San Diego.  I was there Nov. 11-15.  Then the Utahns (three of my siblings and their families) were in Cali for Thanksgiving.  I'll see them again at Christmas.  Lucky me!!

But I'm really glad I don't live there!
I'm still not a fan of snow.  And it snows there.  A lot.

I'm grateful for friends, family, family of friends, and family that are also friends.
What more could anybody ask for?  I'm blessed, blessed, blessed!
