     No Thanksgiving miracles but I am still Thankful for the food that I'm pretty sure is busting to pop out.  I feel so stuffed I took the saying gobble til ya wobble a little too seriously.
      I am thankful for my family coming to my house for thanksgiving, I am thankful for my kids being home with me making wonderful memories, I am thankful there is no ice on the streets, I am thankful I still have several days off from work.  I am thankful my belly is so full of wonderful food, I am thankful my kids got enough wonderful food to fill them up as well.
      I am thankful for having time to play games with my daughter and forever thankful for the joy my kids give me.  I am thankful for my job and paycheck, for my car, and for having such a great life.  I am thankful for all my friends and coworkers that help me through each day.  I am thankful for having a heated dry place to sleep and spend our time together.
      I am thankful for indoor plumbing and hot showers, I am thankful for the wonderful scents of Thanksgiving dinner cooking in my little shabby kitchen.  Tasting just as wonderful as if it was cooked in a mansion.  I am thankful that I can smile when things are ruff, and thankful I haven't had a heart attack from all the food I just stuffed down.
      I am thankful I have a camera to capture the wonderful memories even if it isn't the one I really want.  I am thankful that I have so many things to be thankful for and that each day I think of more.
     I am thankful for the weather so far, I am thankful we have had it so mellow thus far.   I am thankful my son has a job and that my kids can go to school.  I am thankful they go to schools that are somewhat safe and that they have the opportunity to learn and grow.  I am thankful I know how to read, so I can escape into a new and different world and leave my problems behind.
      The new year is coming, and as always I will wish on a better year to come.  I don't know if this will be that year, but I know I am deserving some sunshine in my life real soon...
