What I’m Thankful For, 2009 Edition
Today is Thanksgiving Day here in Canada. It’s a time to eat pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce and turkey. Or maybe tofurkey if that’s your style. It’s a time to gather together with your family and friends, mark the harvest, and appreciate the bounty all around us. But mostly, it’s a time to count your blessings and remember what you’re truly thankful for. It’s, you know, a tradition.
I like a tradition as much as the next person. Maybe even more than the next person. And I don’t have any great ideas for other Thanksgiving-related blog posts, quite frankly. So here are some random things that I’ve been grateful for lately, in no particular order:
My knock-off clogs. They might be ugly as sin, but they are super comfortable and fabulous on the beach.
That all of my tires survived the logging road to Bamfield and back.
Finding the courage to dream again.
Tools to contain my destructo-toddler.
In-laws with air conditioning and snack food.
Hannah’s Finger Friends. Yes, they’re kind of bad news, but they make me laugh.
The way that hair grows back.
New found skills.
Trips to the beach.
What about you? What are you thankful for right now?
Happy Thanksgiving. I’m still on a roll with being thankful I don’t have Lynch Syndrome and therefore haven’t passed it on to my son. ’nuff said tho’ there’s a lot more which makes me happy (maybe next year when the euphoria wears off)

I’m thankful for my sweet sock tan in the last picture, and the memories of the past year. Thank you my love!
I’m thankful that you’re making me smile tonight. Happy Thanksgiving, and happy pumpkin pie eating!
PS I had no idea there were TWO different thanksgiving dates in North America!

Happy Thanksgiving! I was certain that I was going to give birth on your Thanksgiving Day two years ago! But I just missed it

Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m thankful for friends, family and just like you said… courage to dream!
Hope you enjoy your turkey, pie and cranberry sauce tonight. 3 more hours to go until the food fest begins over here

Well we are celebrating next weekend when all the family can be together, because what is Thanksgiving without family? Mostly I am thankful for knowing that we are all healthy and happy and that baby number two has spared me from morning sickness with this pregnancy just like the first one did! Thank goodness! I am also thankful for a wonderful hubby that works so hard to provide for our little family.

My kick-ass husband who brought me chicken soup and ginger ale as I languished on my sickbed (okay, I was reading in a cranky lump in my chair). My little girl who was playing Barbies at the top of her lungs (yes, one can play at the top of one’s lungs) down the hall in her room, periodically coming in saying “Mommy, me want huggie”, and my son, who scored his first goal of the season yesterday.
And dark chocolate with chili peppers. And books. And Glee.

Health.
Too many reminders lately that nothing else matter much when your loved ones are not in good health.

What a beautiful post. And Happy Thanksgiving to you! I’m thankful for heaters. I know that sounds silly. Just had to turn them on for the first time, which sure beats building and maintaining a fire or coal stove.

Happy Thanksgiving! Of course we won’t celebrate it here for another month, but I have a lot to be thankful for. Mostly, my baby that’s growing inside me. I have an ultrasound appointment this afternoon, and hopefully we’ll be able to find out if it’s a boy or a girl!
I’m also thankful for my husband, my family, health and happiness. We may not have pockets full of cash, but I’m pretty happy with the struggle right now.
Enjoy your harvest feast!!!
