I'm grateful for:
#20. The sound of laughter in the kitchen...especially around mealtime.
#19. The moment of peace and quiet right after the dogs have been fed.
#18. The way the sun's light melts across the sky in the morning. Accompaniment by does walking across front lawn and sound of coffee brewing, optional.
#17. Snatching 5 glorious minutes to look at the clouds roll past while I use the microwave.
#16. Finding a clean surface in the house...especially if it's mine.
#15. The dog standing on top of my bladder each morning asking to "go outside."
#14. Sewing with a girlfriend and talking about just anything that pops into our heads.
#13. Finally getting my dog to hold still long enough to trim her toenails.
#12. Going to the bathroom and no one knocking on the door.
#11. Great-grandmother being strong enough to take her first shower in months.
#10. Excavations of back of closet yielding amazing findings from as long ago as the early teen era!
#9. Hearing the words "I practiced it over and over" come from the mouth of the same piano student who used to lick the keys.
#8. Listening to the annual discussion on how best to split up the leftovers between the families after Thanksgiving dinner. Usually preceded by the equally perplexing question of how to best carve the turkey.
#7. Indian summer...second only in pleasure to the first days of Spring.
#6. God's surprises...and sense of timing.
#5. Leftover take-out. (It doesn't get much more convenient than leftover take-out.)
#4. A friend who'll help with the hard part...of anything.
#3. Date-night...for my parents.
#2. The last glimpse of the Bible before I close my eyes at night.
#1. Oh yeah, and all those other things people are usually thankful for at Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
