I'm thankful for...


I may be a bit behind, but I want to share one thing that I am thankful for for each day in November...





I am thankful for:



1. My loving husband who puts up with all of me (believe me it isn't always pleasant)!



2. My two English Springer Spaniels who bring a smile to my face everyday.



3. My job as a fourth grade teacher. I love that I can say I go to school everyday instead of I'm going to work!



4. Adam loving his job and that he has job security.



5. Owning (well paying for) a house since I was 23.



6. The bazillion cords of wood in the backyard that will allow our house to be warm all winter long!



7. Tori, she makes me laugh and is the joy of our family.



8. That my family is only 1.5 hours away and I see them often.



9. Having the same best friend for 27 years.



10. Having all of my grandparents alive, healthy, and very much a part of my life.



11. Experiencing a loss that has allowed me to realize what I really want.



12. Being healthy!



13. Loving to cook/bake and actually being good at it!



14. Have a place of employment that respects what I have to say and do.



15. The friendships that I have developed while living in central NH.



16. Earning my M.Ed (even though I owe sooo much money)



17. Being able to make a difference in children's lives.



18. Being able to share good books with good friends and family.



19. Long walks with Sarah.



20. Having the opportunity to volunteer for various organizations.



21. Finally finding a good fitting pair of jeans!



22. Spending Thanksgiving with some of my favorite people (and Adam has it off!)



23. Having Adam teach me that having people just out of reach is better than not having them around at all.

I hope you don't mind. I thought your list was so wonderful, it encouraged me to put together my own. I'm so happy for you and Adam. :)
