A List

Thanksgiving brought some much needed time off work and time to reflect.  Here is a list of some things I am thankful for.  It is a less than eloquent.  It is bare bones and might need more explanation that I may or may not give.  It is not in any order. It just is.

I am thankful for...

friends who have come along side Kevin and me to raise our children.  I am especially thankful for Caz, Lisa, Jill, Carolee, and Daisy who have invested time in my Abbey.

children who are healthy physically and mentally.

a church community that preaches the gospel and a Savior who bathes me in hope and grace.

a running community that I can flutter in and out of and still feel cared for and have a sense of belonging.  

Adams School.

children.

my sense of purpose.

Kevin.

an extended family that is as quirky as me.

Deb.

Tricia.

my friends.

sisters that help me to better understand and love myself.

the most loving step mom on the planet, Linda.

a dad who loves me.

memories of my mom and my grandma.

memories.

clean water to drink, enough food to eat, and a warm bed to sleep in.

running and the way it makes me feel even when the feeling isn't good.

beer.

rest.  

music.

If I had to die tomorrow, I would also be thankful that I know in my heart where my soul is going.  No one can take that away from me.
