Let's assume my family and friends and good health always tops the list.
But this morning, in just random thoughts, on this Thanksgiving 2013 I am also thankful for...
second (and sixteenth) chances
remembering and memory, the good and the bad
guitar strings and calluses
really good books
the unconditional love of my dogs
long walks at sunrise
Sammi's driver's license (and her new job!)
snow
my camera and my lifetime of photographs
the smell of warm baked cookies
cell phones
Colorado meaderies
fat cat and tiny cat snuggles, equally
the sound of my son's voice on the phone
mountain streams in summer
walls painted the color of sunshine
spiced apples
lions
real food
the internet
an empty Christmas tree that waits for Nick's return so we can decorate it together
Snoopy
rocks
trips to Disney World (including the one in 35 days!)
losing all interest in sodas
belting out show tunes or harmonizing Sara Bareilles tunes with Sam
snow-capped mountains
my husband's over-large heart
crisp, cold air that makes my lungs ache with being alive
working from home
feathers
therapy
stone floors
But mostly, I'm thankful that I am cognizant of being an unrepeatable note in the grand symphony that is the cosmos, and even more grateful for the existence of those other unrepeatable notes with whom I have been able to harmonize.
