There are many things to be thankful for on this day... for the things we are blessed to have… the things in some instances, we may not notice from day to day. I am thankful for the country that chose me. I am thankful for the family that chose me… and for the personality that chose me. I am thankful for my friends that choose to allow me into their lives.
But there are things I took notice of this week while I looked at my life…
I am thankful for the family dog that sits at my feet…
I am thankful for the family cat that lets me know when it’s OK to pet her…
I am thankful for the oil stain in my driveway…
I am thankful for the ignition switch that needs no key…
I am thankful for black lights…
I am thankful for boxer underwear…
I am thankful for WD40 and twine…
I am thankful for people who carry an extra pen…
I am thankful for mini heath bars…
I am thankful for garlic and onion salt…
I am thankful for the third pull on my old lawnmower…
I am thankful for fingernail clippers and tweezers…
I am thankful for the fifth gear in my Jeep…
I am thankful for dime store eye glasses…
I am thankful for Zippo lighter fluid and flints…
I am thankful for blue packets of sweetener…
I am thankful for my father-in-law's giant stainless steel mixing bowl...
I am thankful for the small town farmer who sells his crops on the roadside…
I am thankful for one more year to seek out my thoughts…
I will always be thankful for the smiles from my children… the hand shakes from people I meet… the laughter in a family home. I will always be thankful for the waves of hello from my neighbors… the voices of my loved ones and the feelings of love and appreciation.
