Thanksgiving 07

I started this blog intending to complain about how busy my weekend was; how extremely tired I am and how the holidays are starting off to be stressfull and overwelming. Instead, I'm going to embrace the spirit of thanksgiving and make a list of what I'm thankfull for. It may be corny - but some times It's good to remind yourself why you're blessed. It's too easy to get so self-absorbed that you forget to look around and think about how much worse your life could be. Turkey Trot was unbelievable this year. We had a huge turnout and ran out of T-shirts. The majority of the crowd was okay, but there are always those people who do nothing but complain and running out of t-shirts was apparently the end of their world as they knew it. These peole didn't think about the fact that it was nearly 70 degrees outside and they were with their family fully capable of running a 5k race. Isn't that enough to be thankfull for? So here it is, some things I thank God for every day, and some things that I take for granted....
My Family, friends, my job, my half hour walk, crocs (yes they're ugly but extremely comfortable), Harry Potter, Heroes, Pumpkin Pie, Ice cream, contacts, digital cameras, fluffy down comforters, flannel pants, yummy vodka drinks, lasagna, sunny days with a light breeze on the beach, friends who have a boat :), and lastly, because I'm getting really tired, I'm thankfull for my bed.
Good Night.
