Thirteen Thinks I am Thankful For (Some Are Serious, Some … Not So Much)
01. My son, Daniel. He was born 14 weeks premature and weighed 1 lb. 14 oz. He spent three months in the NICU. He is now nearly 19 months old, has recently learned to walk, and he’s the happiest baby ever. He’s always laughing and getting into things he shouldn’t. I love you, Danny!
02. My husband, David. He’s my best friend and the sweetest, most caring person I have ever had the privilege to know. I love you, baby!
03. My mom, Cheryl. She has been living with cancer for the past 7 years. I am thankful for everyday that I have with her. She’s a truly, truly amazing woman. I love you, Mom!
04. My siblings! Linda, Joey, and April. We talk and visit and kid around often. We trade kids, give each other love and support, fight, laugh, cry, declare war on one another, and commiserate on all the therapy we need now that we’ve survived childhood. Yeah, I love you guys, too!
05. The house we live in. Even though our landlord is an ass sometimes and the place needs a major overhaul, I am grateful we have a place to live that fits our budget, such as it is, and has room for all our junk. Maybe one day we’ll manage to unpack it all.
06. The jobs we have. Yes, they may be crappy and the hours totally suck, but I’m happy we have what we do. Far too many people don’t even have that right now. (I still hope that Hubby will get his old job back soon – damn layoffs!)
07. Our friends! We save each other from boredom, bad porn, and too much good beer.
08. Books! (Duh!)
09. The Internet.
10. Slash fanfiction. (Yes, John and Rodney from Stargate: Atlantis are so doing it!
11. Geek t-shirts! (Astrophysicists do it with a Big Bang!) LOL
12. Gravity.
13. Pumpkin pie!
Happy Thanksgiving!

WOW. Awesome list of people and things to be grateful for, especially the first 8. You are “rich” indeed with these wonderful people, your house, jobs and books! Must have books! LOL. That one didn’t make my list for some weird reason!
