a random grateful list in which i try not to be too sappy or lame::

family & friends that are always there for me…even when I seem to push people away
my kids…i know they fall under family but really, they get a line of their own. There is literally nothing that makes me happier than these two humans. Sometimes it takes my breath away a little bit…how much I love them. I would be lost without them.
a job that i love
health
home (even though it is acting like a temper tantrum-y 2 year old lately)
books that provide me an escape from real life occasionally
dirt roads
microwave popcorn
geese
fall leaves
hot chocolate
polka dots
people who make me laugh really hard (even if it is sometimes at my own expense)
ice cream
early morning texts/late night phone calls
homemade (not by me) chocolate chip cookies
turkey dinner (not made by me)
new-to-me treadmill
a working furnace
naps
that people are always so sweet & supportive about all of my little “interests” (ie cards; 50 before 50; blog; patreon; etc, etc, etc)
lemon squares…well…lemon anything really….
heated blankets
good conversation & connections
cold diet coke in a can
music (that also provides an escape sometimes)

Happy Thanksgiving…and I am not sure it has to be said
but I am seriously grateful for every person that stops by this
little space in the internetsphere to read my ramblings…so…yeah..you!! :)
