Today, I am just grateful for blackout curtains and a comfy sofa.

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all, from all of us. To those I was not able to be with on this holiday, I miss and love you and hope you had a wonderful day!

Today

Today, I am grateful for fun, crazy, awesome coworkers. Who else would invite me to go to breakfast with them and then proceed to make me feel totally at home singing and dancing to the background music and laughing at each other's craziness? You guys are awesome and so fun! I'm glad I work with such great people!

Clean bill of health

I am grateful today for my health. This is the first flu season in years that I haven't been ill...multiple times. I am so grateful that my body and lungs have been strong and healthy this year.

Chocolate!

(thanks to cacaobug for the loan of the pic)
Oh chocolate, how I do love thee! To those brave explorers of yesteryear who traveled the world and brought cocoa beans back to European courts and society....THANK YOU!

Digiscrapping

To whoever thought up the brilliant idea of digiscrapping, thank you thank you! I love it! I can scrap and scrap to my heart's content without making a mess of my house. If I don't like what I've done, I can tear it apart and start over or mess around with it easily. If, after all that, I decide I like it the way I did it first, I can just reset it. So fun!

Mom

I don't normally do two separate posts in one day, but this one deserves its own spot. Today, I am incredibly grateful for my Mom. Not just Moms in general, mine.

Mom, thanks for being my listening ear when I need one so badly. Thanks for always being there for me. Thanks for all the sacrifices you make for our family, for me. Thanks for loving me unconditionally and never giving up on me. Thanks for carrying me and giving birth to me.

Thanks Mom, I love you!

Good stuff

Need I say more?

Phew

Wow, what a week. With all 6 of my nights in a row being so busy, I have basically just come home to crash and do it all over again. Nonetheless, I haven't forgotten to be grateful and have a short list to make up for my negligence.

1. I am thankful for knee high cute socks. As those who know me well are aware, I love cute socks. Knee highs have kept my legs warm between work and home, allowing me to leave the heat off in the car in the mornings and drive safely (stay awake).

2. I am thankful for SNOW!! So, we only got a tiny bit and it all melted quickly, so what?! It's SNOW! :)

3. I am very thankful for my awesome coworkers. This was a crazy weekend, moreso than even usual. For all of you who stepped up and made it work, kudos!

4. I am thankful for Aleve. Sometimes, I couldn't function without it.

Sleep

Grateful for..pillows...and....nice....warm........beds......................

Connections

I am so thankful for how far technology has come in allowing us to communicate with others, no matter how distant! So thanks for the internet and its progress!

Work

I am thankful for my job. I am very thankful for the opportunity I have to work with these tiny babies and their families. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to feel like I make a difference.

Order

I am thankful for lists. With lists, I can go to the store, get what I need, and make it home without buying randomness. Without lists, I go to the store, buy things that strike my fancy or I think I need and often come home without some or any of the items I went to buy in the first place.

Blah

Today, I'm just grateful that sometimes it is ok to do absolutely nothing. All day. For a whole day.

Grandmama

Today, I am grateful for Grandmas. Mine, my nephew's, and all grandmas there are. Thank you for being such awesome people!

I do

Today, I am grateful for lyricists who can put how I feel into words and then set it to music.

Thanks again

A friend of mine reminded me today that this is the month of giving thanks. So, to continue my thanks giving from last year, I will try to post something I am thankful for daily (or at least frequently) this month.

Today, I am thankful for pajama's. They make my life so much more comfy, especially on days that I'm trying to transition my sleep schedule from days to nights!
