I get it-it's good to take stock and give thanks, even if it's only once a year. It's just terribly ironic that many Americans give thanks on their Facebook page, eat a huge meal, and then spend hundreds of dollars online or after a rousing fist-fight at the local mega-mart.
As for me, I'm going to eat a reasonable lunch with my parents, review math skills for my upcoming GRE, and hopefully catch a movie later. We're not big on sharing, so here's my thankful list.
- thankful for a good memory of good times
- thankful for forgiveness
- a huge world
- good books and good people who love books
- teachers to look up to
- my own good health
- my Dad's sense of humor
- my mom's strength
- baby calves
- friends and thought partners
- concerts
- sinus medication
- seat belts
- dependable shoes and vests
- wild animals and wild spaces
- Vegetarians
- Stubborn people; kind people; artists; historians;
- Fairy tales and musicals
- Fast shipping
- Old men and tattooed ladies
- Foster and adopted families
- Glasses
- High schoolers that like Lisa Frank stickers
