Normally, posts like this
one come mid-November. You know, “I’m thankful for…” because Thanksgiving is
coming and that’s what you DO at Thanksgiving: you GIVE THANKS. (And eat. You
eat too.)
However, my time clock for
getting things done runs about 22.67 days after everyone else’s. So,
technically this post is on time, for me.
Also, December is my
thankful month. I have the reminder from Thanksgiving to be thankful, my
birthday, Christmas, and New Years (which makes me think about everything that
happened that year), all within 45 days. I have a LOT to be thankful for.
Of course, I’m thankful
for bunches more than what has appeared below. But these are the ones that have
stood out to me in the last 24 hours. (And the ones that I had pictures of.)

The fog outside: I honestly
cannot remember the last time we had fog in December. I bet the photographers
are having a field day. (Like me! Although I’m lazy about my field days. This
was taken from my porch, in my pajamas.)
This girl: my sis, one of
my few best friends. (The heck with having one; that makes things complicated.
I have two! J)
She’s just generally awesome!
My dog: you know that song
by Carrie Underwood? “…the more boys I meet, the more I love my dog…”?? It’s a
lot like that.
My little niece, and her
mom and dad…(the goofballs). Joelle thinks the ceiling fan is pretty cool.
The mountains: every time
we go somewhere flat, I think of the mountains. I always feel unprotected and
exposed without them.
My mom and dad: I have no
idea how they do it, being parents to the terrors Lexy and I are. ;) They
really deserve that trip to Mexico.
My piano: Since I have
recently discovered that I actually begin experiencing withdrawals without
playing it.
Oh, and Christmas. I’M VERY
THANKFUL FOR CHRISTMAS. Especially when I think about the real reason we have
the presents and the food (the FOOD!), and the lights and decorations, and the
MUSIC! These things are all great, but they wouldn’t be anything without the
baby in the manger. And that just makes me warm and fuzzy all over.
Have a happy Christmas
season!
