Thankful Turkey

Like many today, at the end of another Thanksgiving Thursday, it makes me reflect on things that makes me thankful. Here’s a little list. Of course, the list can continue for an infinity, yet this one will be as long as my small brain can go or my lazy fingers can type:

  • Stretchy jeans – Whomever came up with Jeggings had Thanksgiving meals in mind.  A pure “jeanous”!
  • Friday Trash Day- The trash cans are full outside and I’m pretty sure that whatever the raccoons don’t get tonight will be a little stinky tomorrow.  Yea for trash day!
  • Friendsgiving – When things happen and you can’t make it to your families for the holiday and your friends are in the same boat, so you get together with your friends.  It makes for a very laid back day, with the pressure of traditions out the window.  So however it happens, its all good. Real good, in fact.
  • Third helpings – When you leave the Thanksgiving food out all day and you graze so much that the third helping  is where you should have stopped, but you are kind of glad that you didn’t.
  • Dogs – When you don’t feel like sweeping or moping up after a full day of cooking, you just let the dog in and let him get to work.
  • Scented Candles – When you are sure that your little bit of cleaning isn’t enough before company comes over.
  • Ziplock bags – When you don’t have enough tupperware for all the leftovers, ziplock bags will do.
  • Black Olives- Because it’s really not Thanksgiving until someone wears an olive on the end of their finger.
  • Facebook – Everyone posting pictures of their families smiling on Thanksgiving. Some seem a little staged, but I still love seeing them.
  • Family and Friends – I like thinking about all my family and friends and how lucky I am to have known so many good people along the way.
