Thankful list

The past month or so has been full of life's usual problems; sick kids, car problems, more sick kids, more car problems etc...so I thought it was time for me to stop moping and start remembering all that I am thankful for...

• Fall - I think its my favorite season, the morning air was quite crisp and refreshing this morning. I'm already looking forward to going to the local apple orchard.
• two wonderful children who behaved perfectly when I had to bring them to work with me this morning before school.
• bagels and cream cheese
• coffee
• family and friends who care about me
• knitting
• Miami Dolphins football (even when we lose)
• the library - where I could get lost for hours
• electricity - my parents had partial/no electricity for the last week and it has been hard on them.
• medication that keeps my blood pressure down even when my stress level is off the charts.
• An amazing husband who has gone with almost no sleep all week...and who is happily sleeping all morning today.
• Mysterys - both in books and on T.V.
• the fact that the weekend is almost here.
