*pant, gasp, wheeze* Wow, that was quite the long title!
And yes, I do realize that Thanksgiving is over and we’re entering the holiday season. Don’t worry, I’m not completely crazy – there is a method to my madness. ๐
But anyways . . . ย being thankful for what we have is super important – even when it’s not Thanksgiving! We areย blessed to be surrounded by friends and family, to be able to go to school, to have access to food, water, and housing . . . I could go on. But if I did, we’d be here another couple years. (And it would get boring. By 2020, I’d be saying things like “I’m grateful for, um, plastic . . .”).
I think I sounded preachy there. I’m not trying to . . .ย ๐
And that brings me to my own list of what I’m thankful for. ๐

1. When your favorite song comes on shuffle first.
2. Christmas lights in the dark.
