Giving Thanks

Permalink 07:30:50 pm by cassie, Categories: Announcements [A]

My yearly thankfulness post, a tad late. This year, in particular, I'm thankful for:

+ Family

+ No more morning sickness

+ My warm, cozy living room

+ The three jobs that Mark and I have between us, all of which pay for more than what we need

+ Long weekends without work

+ A clean house

+ Pepperminty, warm fall drinks and mittens

+ My awesomely discounted new pair of Danskos that I've been holding out for since nursing school

+ Emails from Heidi and Kate

+ Chinese food and The Office with Sar

+ Hannaford frozen pizzas

+ Seeing Weezer, live and in concert, seeming like the greatest thing in the world at the time... singing along to every single song like I'm thirteen again

+ Teddy's gift of thirty cents to the cause of helping us buy a house nearby so we can live close to him

+ Mark's quiet, calm love for a neurotic, Attention Deficit Disorder wife (aka - me)

+ Antibiotics

+ Seeing people get better, live, after dancing a waltz with death and dying and hoping they have some appreciation for that after it all

+ Warm quilts on chilly mornings

+ Hulu and Redbox

+ Cars that run almost all of the time

+ Quiet living in my quiet life with my quiet husband in my quiet home

+ That Peace.. the one that passes all understanding.

Happy Thanksgiving.

JamesCassie, I just wanted to let you know that I'm always blessed by your "good things" and "things I'm thankful for" lists, this one as much as any other. Thank you for noticing the big and the small, and being grateful. I recently came across this quote from G.K. Chesterton: "I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder."

I like to multi-task: wife, writer, nurse, Christian, ne'er do well. I do all with equal gusto.
