Gratitude is All About Attitude

In anticipation of the best holiday of the year I feel inspired to write a blog about all the unexpected things I am grateful for (even if it is a week early):

• unexpected Thanksgiving invitations
• sword hands
• beautiful ballerinas
• an unexpected starry sky
• free activities for children
• four beautiful seasons
• good parent/teacher conference reports -for the most part-
• surviving the swine flu with relatively minor symptoms
• supportive undergarments
• books
• cabin trips
• decent work hours for Travis
• blogs
• my Chanel purse
• 2 functioning automobiles
• large desk calenders
• the opportunity to serve
• soft kid lips with willing kisser participants

Although silly just thinking about some of these things the other day in the car led me to a brief moment of vision loss due to restrained tears. It may not seem like a lot but for me it is plenty.
