Thankful

Today is Thanksgiving.  I am headed to Salem to spend the day with my family.   We are taking G's mom with us as well.   We had other plans but they didn't work out and really the only thing I care about is spending the day with the people I love and care about most.   This year hasn't been all sunshine and roses but I am very grateful for many things........

1. A husband who loves me
2. A furry one to snuggle with
3. A mother and father who love me unconditionally
4. Friends to laugh and make memories with
5. A job to go to with a boss I adore
6. A roof over my head
7. Trips to the islands - both of them
8. The sound of the ocean
9. Red velvet cupcake batter soft serve yogurt
10. Memories of those I loved who are no longer with us

A good friend of mine will be able to be home with her family for Thanksgiving this year.   This might be the first time in 10+ years she has been able to do that.  I am so very happy for her.   I hope that you too are able to spend the day surrounded by those you love.  And that not only today but that every day you take a moment to stop and think what you are grateful for.

cant remember where I got this

Just for the record I love Sesame Street and grew up with it.  It pains me when I hear someone say their little one doesn't like it because it doesn't have enough movement and stuff going on.  I'll admit Count Dracula is a little scary but who doesn't love the Cookie Monster and even The Grouch.   I heard recently that they are thinking of Ernie and Bert getting married.   It made me laugh.  I never thought of them as "partners" just two guys living together.   If they do that however I think it will be great.   But for some reason I'm sure there are others out there that wouldn't agree with me.  However, I think those are the same people that are trying to stop the funding to Sesame Street so does their voice matter?  I think not.   I do have to say however that Elmo is a bit much for me some days.   But I would take him over Barney any day.  And I guess now we really know how everyone feels about Big Bird.

Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet
Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame Street
