In the spirit of Thanksgiving… I am so very thankful for: [in no particular order]
1. Chocolate. Dark. Surrounding almonds. Blueberries. Strawberries dipped in it. Pretty much any which way.
2. Spice. Black Pepper. Paprika. Chili powder. Covering a medium to well-done steak if you’re asking!
3. Banana, strawberry, blueberry, peanut butter, protein smoothies. Okay. Enough about food.
4. Princess#1, Hannah ♡ for how she can sense when I’m sad. And her hugs squeeze something sweet right into me.
5. #2 Nitha ♡ for her smiles that remind me not to take life too seriously.
6. #3 Lydia ♡ for learning how to make coffee. Just for me. To love me.
7. And #4 Sarah ♡ for her snuggles every morning that remind me what’s important at the start of my day.
8. Hubs. My Sunshine. My lover. My best friend. For not giving up on me.
9. Writing. The freedom to write. A love for words. And a place to write! Gly Cafe!

10. Family. Cousins. Aunts. Uncles. Loved seeing so many of you at my parents’ anniversary party!
11. A laptop to write on.
12. My iPhone5 where I can type up writing ideas on the go. And check FB all day long. I know, so wrong. But at least I admit to it.
13. My best friend who loves me regardless of how messed up I am.
14. Friends who come over and let me hold their babies.
15. Friends and family who watch my princesses, giving me precious hours to focus on my writing.
16. Friends who listen to my stories. Even when I tell the same story twice.
17. Sugar-free lattes with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Sorry, had to give a shout out to coffee!
18. My Mom who still buys me socks. And other items only a mom can buy for her kids. And her cooking. And how she stocks my fridge, still. She spoils me. I am spoiled!
19. My Dad who reads my writing. Cheers me on. Gives the best hugs. And keeps me humble.
20. My Sister who I can call any time and talk to about anything. Any. Thing. God, how I love her.
21. My bed. My pillow. Pillows. Sleep. Dreaming.
22. Music. All of it. iTunes. Headphones. Can’t imagine my life without music.
23. Dancing. Legs to dance. Arms to hold me during a slow dance.
24. Basketball. Missing shots. So I can shoot again. Hitting shots. So I can pass the ball. Da Bulls. When I don’t feel like sweating.
25. A glass of Pinot. Or two.
26. My Agent. He’s smart. And funny. And encouraging. Thank you, Chip.
27. Lost. I know. It’s over. The ending was so-so. But I still think about them. Jack. Kate. Sawyer. Can we go back? Once-in-awhile?
28. Push-ups. Seriously? Yes. I actually enjoy doing push-ups.
29. Movies. That place where I can disappear into the make-belief for just a little while.
30. The future. It might be unclear. But I don’t fear it. Whatever it might hold. I’m excited to see what it brings.
31. Jesus!
And you? What 31 things are you thankful for? Or just one? Everyone has one… Don’t be shy…
And Happy Thanksgiving ALL!! *HUGS*
