Twenty Thanks

I've had so much to give thanks for so far this year.

January:

I am thankful... for a new year in which I can focus on gratitude.
... that my dentist let me take a break and finish the dental work in another appointment.
... being able to have lunch on a gorgeous beach with my mom.
... the luxury of lazy Sundays.
... that mom made her flight even though we both woke up late.
... that we live close enough to family that we can help by watching the little ones every now and then.
... for the gift of a financed education.
... for hugs.
... for novacaine.
... for our sweet puppy.
... for a warm home and comfortable bed.
... that I get to work with caring faculty.
... that Jonathan asks how my day was.
... to be finished with dental appointments for a while.
... that we can spend time playing games with some of the people we love.
... for kids who get excited about improvements in their reading.
... for sleeping in on Saturdays.
... for Sundays that are like Saturdays because of long weekends.
... that MLK, Jr. cared and persevered.
... for snow days. And change.

I'm looking forward to finding 345 more things for which to be thankful this year!

What are you thankful for?
