I am sitting here, sipping wine, and thinking thoughts.
Today is supposed to be a day of thanks and gratitude, and while I don't normally like to conform... eh. I'll make an exception today. It IS Tday, after all.
So, from the mundane to the all important, here's a random list of many things that Jenna has to be grateful for. Not in, you understand, in any particular order.
1. Naturally, to head this list, I have to say that my family is number one. That they're mine, their good health, their love, their foibles and flaws... all of it. I am a better woman because of them, and ever am I grateful for my husband and children.
2. What can you say after that? Something like... oh! My health. I'm chunkier than I'd like to be, but I'm pretty healthy. This bod has served me well, and I am grateful for it.
3. My friends. In particular, Shanna. Lisa. Becky. My Ninjas.
4. That I quit smoking. I would love to pick that habit up again... but it's SO bad for me. I'm glad I quit.
5. Diet Pepsi and books. My two favorite things.
6. My computer. I love my computer, despite it's many... issues :) I love the internet.
7. Spellcheck. WOW. Yeah, that, totally. Thank the gods that someone was smart enough to come up with that!
8. Toilet paper. 'Nuff said.
9. My stretch marks. Yes, I love them. Every. Single. One. They mark me as a woman who carried a body inside her body, gave it life. I love to run my fingers over them. My babies gave me those marks, and I am grateful for them.
10. Good tuneage. I lalalove music!
11. COFFEE and CREAMER.
12. ...my cool mug that Shanna gave me for my bday.
13. Good wine. Like this lovely chianti that I am currently drinking.
14. The beach.
15. Cable. Many good shows it brings me, yes.
16. Yoda rocks.
17. Warm, fuzzy socks.
18. Cafemom.
19. That my husband is gainfully employed, in these uncertain times. I am SO grateful for that.
20. That I get to be a stay-at-home-mom.
21. That my mom and I made good on reconciliation before she passed away. I love her, miss her, and am grateful to her.
22. For the many, many, MANY art pictures my children see fit to bestow upon me.
23. Cleaning products and paper towels.
24. Contact lenses.
25. Debit cards! I remember life before them...
26. That I know how to crochet... maybe not WELL, but still... I know how.
27. That I can cook. Some people can't; I'm glad I can.
28. Lotion. Oh.... lotion. I love lotion.
29. TOOTHPASTE!
30. That I have so very many things to be grateful for.
I have much more, of course, but I think I will stop at thirty. Otherwise I might be here all day, and I still have some cooking to do.
You know, I am pretty lucky. Some might say blessed. Whatever, all I know is that I'm grateful for all of it!
Peace, all. And Happy Thanksgiving!

I think I'm the only one that didn't post a thankful list on my blog. :| hahaha oh well! I loved your list! Especially the beach! BTW, if you DO live close to the beach? I hate you... ;) Oh and toilet paper! I'm reading this book where they're kind of in the wild and have to use leaves. UGH! We're so spoiled and I don't even appreciate it all the time! Hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving!!!
Great list...Congrats on quitting smoking!
I'm a Diet Dr. Pepper fan myself.
And even better than contact lenses...lasik. I had it done seven years ago. It's awesome...
And yeah, it's nice to know that my husband has job security. We're not struggling to pay the mortgage or to feed the family. It's a real blessing.
