1. Warm robe, warm heat, warm home, and the smell of breakfast and coffee.
2. Enough money in my pocket to buy a turkey and all the fixings for a feast, but also remembering that there are some who are hungry today.
3. My baby girl, who every morning when I get her from her crib, grabs my face and says with true wonder- "Mama!!!"
4. My husband, who is my schmoopsie. And is healthy. Thank God.
5. Good friends that I can call at any time and be comforted, be laughed with, and be loved.
6. April, who calls and leaves me a message saying "I love and miss you and you are the best person I know." Likewise, my oldest and bestest ever. You are amazing.
7. Jody, Emily, Linda, Dixie, Amy, Rica, and all my other SS sisters who make me smile every day.
8. My in laws, who love Lily so much, and will spend a half hour on the phone with her listening to her babble.
9. My Aunt, who has stepped in and filled the shoes my mother never bothered to try on. I love you, and I am thankful for you. You have always been my mother. Always.
10. My health. The breath in my lungs, strong arms and legs, a vibrant mind, and a rosy disposition. Okay, maybe not rosy- but funny. Okay maybe not funny, but okay- a disposition.
And that is all. Happy Thanksgiving, my friends.
