Thanksgiving Thoughts
1. I'm thankful that I was able to spend time with my boys and Matt's new "family" (in-laws-to-be?)
2. I'd grateful I didn't have to cook anything, and I didn't eat too much!
3. I'm newly aware and very thankful that my kids have grown up to be fine young men, the kind I would have loved to date when I was their age!)
4. I'm so thankful that I am able to see my best friends for breakfast once a week, even if the only nearby restaurant is Denny's.
5. I'm very grateful I was able to reconnect with my Ohio brother and most of my cousins during my recent trip. Thanks for welcoming me!
6. I'm thankful that my Jenny Craig counselor is so unfailingly encouraging, even when I have "strayed."
7. I'm thankful that my personal trainer doesn't laugh when I try to do a squat while holding weights.
8. I'm thankful that my kids live near enough to see whenever I want to, but not so near I see them more than I want to!
9. I'm thankful that my car runs reliably, even if it is a bit dented.
10. I'm thankful that Greg left me well enough off, despite the economy, that I can continue to live alone in my house and don't have to move to an apartment or rent out rooms!
11. I'm grateful that I can substitute teach when I want to and say no when I want to.
12. I'm filled with gratitude and endorphins that I don't need to take anti-depressants anymore.
13. I'm grateful for the water aerobics classes in Milpitas I've been going to for more than 3 years now -- and that I haven't injured myself!
14. I'm grateful that the average age I feel is approximately my own age -- some days I feel 33 and some days I feel 99!
15. I'm grateful for good (and interesting) dreams lately, including paddling a rubber raft through a fleet of battleships.
