Thankful

It's that time of year again. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It's what I call a "no pressure holiday"... no gifts to buy, just tons of food to eat and 4 straight days of work. It happens during Fall, or we as all know it, The Best Season of the Year. It's also a day where we focus on what we are most grateful for. What a fantastic idea....

• God
• His presence
• His peace
• When you can't articulate what you think or feel, He just gets it... soooo good
• Luke
• Particularly hearing from him everyday
• His sweet little soul - there isn't a square inch, inside or out, of him that isn't wonderful
• Getting to spend my life with my best friend, the person who has taught me so much
• Family
• Friends 
• You are the family God let me choose and I love you so much for it
• Running
• It is my "me time"
• Hot showers / baths / etc
• Really great Bible studies / books / movies
• Nicole C. Mullen CDs
• Coca-Cola 
• The volunteer organizations I've been a part of and the lives that have blessed me from there
• Bamboo Sheets
• super soft and it is an easily renewable resource
• Aprons from Anthropology
• Granola with Raspberry Kefir in the morning
• Cows
• Golden Retrievers
• The Clay Pot restaurant
• USPS Flat Rate Shipping 
• My Blackberry / MacBook / iPad / Shuffle
• mostly the fact that they have Off switches I've learned to use this year!
• New luggage
• Dried Cranberries 
• Sephora Body Wash
• Ojon Hair Care Products 

That's the greatest hits list anyway. There are a lot of other "things" and specific people I am grateful for, but I think "God, those I love and Coke" would pretty much be a good summary. 

Happy Thanksgiving
