Top Ten Things I am Thankful For*

Not an original exercise, but one worth doing nonetheless.

1. I am thankful that I have an amazing, loving husband who surprises me each day with his devotion and commitment to me and our life together. Not a day goes by without him both warming my heart and making me laugh.


2. I am thankful all of my parents are still healthy and incredibly happy.


3. I am thankful for my sanity (on most days).


4. I am thankful my term paper was pushed back an extra week so I don't have to do it this weekend.


5. I am thankful that even though I gripe about being a poor graduate student, I have health insurance, money to pay bills, and I can put food on the table and still treat myself once in awhile.


6. I am thankful for the opportunities that have led me to where I am today.


7. I am thankful that I drive a reliable car.


8. I am thankful for my friends and their willing acceptance of my shortcomings.


9. I am thankful I have two well-behaved kitties and one very entertaining one.


10. I am thankful that I am a human and not a turkey.

Happy Thanksgiving, and safe travels this weekend!
