What I'm Thankful For:

A good night's rest.
Comfortable pajamas!  Clean sheets!  Clean clothes!
Waking up.
Breath.  A i r.
Not in too much pain this morning.

The sun!
Bright blue skies!
Brr.  A bit nippy.  A heater that works!
Fall colors outside my window.

Sight.
Hearing.
Taste.
Smell.
Touch.

M o v e m e n t!
The ability to talk/think/write.

My Creator, God.  My Savior, Jesus Christ.  The Holy Spirit.

My twin sister.
My other sisters and brother.
Memories of loved ones who are no longer here to celebrate holidays with me.

Freedom.
Our soldiers.  Sailors.  Airmen.  Marines.  And their families who serve, alongside.
Our Veterans.

A roof overhead.
Electricity!  Water!
Food in the 'fridge and pantry.
The cereal I ate this morning.
The dinner I'm looking forward to tonight.

Friends.
Their families, who include me in theirs.
L a u g h t e r.

The purr of a cat.
A puppy's kiss.
Birdsong.
Even this dang fly who's bugging me.  (Shoo, fly, don't bother me.)

Words.  E s p e c i a l l y words.

To express how grateful I am.

Remember to give thanks for everything.  IN everything.  Every day.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I'm thankful for you.

Gratitude list par excellence. Really, we should do one every day. I forget all the time. But they always work in terms of shifting my focus from what I don't have to what I have. Then you realize, by God, I have a life of abundance. As they say, if you want to get rich quick, count your blessings. Have a great Thanksgiving Karla. All the best.
