Thursday Thirteen Edition No. 3


Thirteen Things For Which I Am Thankful


It's edition number three for me and a special holiday to me. I have always loved Thanksgiving. It is about getting together and being together and cooking and eating and laughing and basking in the glow of each other's company. So thirteen things to be thankful for seemed only fitting for today.

1. To be living in relative safety when so many people in the world have to fear a simple trip to the corner market. I hope we as a nation can soon be strong enough to help make the world more peaceful.

2. My DH (that's dear husband y'all) and family

3. Signing on to the American Idol messages boards nine months ago today because I simply had to discuss how wonderful Taylor Hicks was

4. All of my friends---both the ones I had before AI and the ones I have made since. If friends are the family that you pick I sure have an interesting and amazing family and I love them

5. Being for the most part healthy

6. Being able to help families through my work when they are facing the worst times

7. Music

8. The simple joy of my little dog wriggling and smiling and giving me kisses

9. Passion and love

10. Finding the desire to write again

11. Being able to help feed people who would not have anything to eat otherwise

12. The military and police and fire fighters serving and protecting all of us

13. Being reminded to love deeper and speak sweeter because life is short

It does not really matter on what day you count your blessings --it just matters that you do.

It's fantastic to be able to think about all the wonderful things we have for to be thankful, isn't it?

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I'm not a fan of the reality or talent shows, but I have made more really good friends through my online forums than I have offline. (Of course, the fact that I'm 3/4 hermit could have something to do with that.)

Have a good weekend!

What a wonderful TT!! You have many things to be thankful for. My hubby is a firefighter and I am thankful everyday that he is brave enough to put himself in danger to save others.. I of course am always fearful of something happening but he is very passionate about it and so proud and who am I to stop him from doing some good in the world!

Oh and I love Taylor Hicks!!

Seems appropriate that we list all the things we are grateful for since it's that timeof theyear... but I think 13 is too little if we really sit down to count...

Happy Thanksgiving & Happy Thursday

Wonderful list! :) Those are all terrific things to be thankful for. As a fire chief's daughter and a military wife, I thank you for including #12 on your list.

Thanks for sharing such a beautiful list.

Although I celebrated Thanksgiving last month (Canadian Thanksgiving is in October), a Happy Thanksgiving to you. :)

I am usually able to mention all comments individually. Just know that I thank you all for reading my meager offerings and even more for taking the time to tell me you were here and liked them. It really makes a difference.

Thank you all
