Thankful...still

Let's get real. I'm horrible at posting everyday. In the spirit of the Thabksgiving holiday, here is a list of all sorts of good things I am thankful for:

-My children (obviously, they rock)

-Paul

-My sister and Mom 

-My dad and brother too

-My BFF, Bonny Liane Cunz

-my nieces and nephews (I love being an auntie)

-solid group of girl friends 

-Great public school in our area

-Tanner's teachers ( they are some of the nicest ladies I have ever met)

-The Voice (I LOVE this show)

-my cousins (even the crazy ones)

-Cherry Chapstick 

-Good dreams

-my kindle (I love to read)

-my college education

-freedom and liberty

-our heated "party garage"

-accepting individuals

-good books

-quiet time

-favorite recipes

-a quality hairdresser (never underestimate the power of good hair)

-Target (I'm in love with this store)

-my smart phone (I would feel totally isolated in the northwoods without it)

- my grandmas (two of the coolest 70-something's I know)

- warm sunny days at the lake

-cozy bon fires

-being able to have pajama days where I don't dress the kids or myself for the day and we just play ( so basically 3/4 of our days at home :)

-Christmas carols (my favorite part of the season)

-laughter.  I'm entirely convinced that this will cause us to live longer 

-LAST but not least- I am thankful for free-thinking. Paul is especially good at not following the herd and asking "Why?"  a lot. I am getting better at questioning my reasons/motivation for my decisions and actions then trying my best to approach life with free-thinking and curiosity. Thank goodness for higher thought processes right? The human brain never ceases to amaze me. 

Is that enough things? I could go on but I think I covered my bases. 

Happy Thanksgiving folks! I hope you are spending the day doing something you love with the people you love.

Peace.
