In light of my recent insomnia / general feeling of malaise / horror over the state of humanity, a Thursday Thirteen seems in order, one that helps put things in perspective, or at least balance out the ickiness. So, although Thanksgiving is a week away, I'm embarking on a Thankful 13, inspired by this list from my BFF's blog.
1. The dogs. Yes, I'm daily, even hourly thankful for Guinnie, Polly, and Fenway and even Gollum who is no longer with us. I really feel like there's so much we can learn from our pets. Fenway wakes up each morning, blinks his sleepy eyes at me, then accepts a kiss and expects to have a good day. Each day, it's like he expects good things to happen in his life. And he's happy because he has such a happy attitude.
2. My kitchen. It's not large, and it's not fancy, but it's mine. And I love spending time in it.
3. Family, especially brothers, neices, sister-in-law, and cousins. Thanksgiving time makes me think of them all.
4. Crafty projects. I just had a brilliant refashion idea--watch for more in the coming weeks!
5. Words, words, words. Aren't they simply magical? I am especially thankful for books, of course. I'm tempted to order the entire Twilight saga, by the way, for holiday reading. I feel like I can't resist for much longer!
6. DVDs. I really love Netflix. I do! I'm especially fond of all the TV series that are available, with british stuff being my very fav.
7. Journals. I love writing in my journals, and yes, I keep more than one. I mean, I need several different notebooks for different parts of my life. This makes sense, right?
8. My vehicle. I have a 1998 Ford Explorer. I plan to drive it until it's a "death trap." And then I plan to purchase another Explorer.
9. Pie. This time of year, my thoughts turn to pie. *sigh* I'm craving apple just now.
10. Taco Bell. Requires no explanation.
11. My job. First, I get to teach super fun stuff. Second, I have super fab colleagues.
12. Fabric, textiles, fibers! What could be finer?
13. Simply being alive!
Ah, this feels like a truly joyful T13--just what I needed!
