I am thankful for having a chance to create and laugh and create and eat and laugh some more. I am thankful for music and movies. I am thankful for friends who can come together and share their lives freely and with trust. I am thankful they would want to spend time with me in my home creating, laughing, eating and sharing.
I am thankful I like to create and don't worry too much about the results. I don't need to fuss or worry - I just like to make things. For better or worse I suppose....
I am thankful that this year we have the problem that there are so many wonderful canidates to choose from. I am thankful that it seems that for the first time in my memory, the debates have been meaningful, interesting and engaging. Granted there has been some uglyness and infighting -- but it seemed to have been overcome.
I am thankful that it seems that people are willing to think outside the box - to look beyond what I think of as the 'bedroom issues' that are so divisive and look at other very important issues that are facing our country.
I am thankful that we have canidates that make me hopeful for the future.
Hope for the future -- I am thankful.
The neat thing about this, being more aware of being thankful, is I find myself noticing things to be thankful about more often. Today we went for a walk, it was cold, and we all had rosy cheeks and cold hands -- I was thankful for how cute we all looked. I had a really good apple and peanut butter, I was thankful for that too. I read a good book last week and have moved on to another good one -- yes, thankful for that!
Here's a pictures of us last week at the zoo -- back when it was acting like spring around here (we moved back to winter). I chose this because I am thankful for my little family. I am thankful for Yuri and the support and teamwork we share. I am thankful for his patience and his spazzy ways too. I am thankful for Victor because he just is. I am thankful for the time we get to spend together, just walking or running errands or looking for airplanes. Simple, fun, safe, silly love.
I am thankful for how much Victor loves books. He loves to look at them on his own and he loves to be read to. I am also thankful to find an old childhood favorite one of the Richard Scary books about things that go. (For those of you keeping up on the no new book pledge - my mom got it for him. :)
I'm thankful for friends who are willing to get bone tired playing with your kiddo at the park.
