Happy Thanksgiving!

Things I wish I was thankful for this Thanksgiving.

1) That I'd lost 25 lbs. (remember - this is what I wish I was thankful for...)
2) The ability to communicate with sea creatures telepathically.

Things I know I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving.

1) My wonderful husband and kids. You definitely decorate my life!
2) The right to worship as I please.
3) That my husband and I are employed when so many aren't right now.
4) That Jesus loves me!
5) That my wonderful husband is cooking the turkeys and we've gotten the sweet potato casserole and mashed potatoes done already.
6) That I get to see almost all my sisters and brother on Friday!
7) That Ryan took the hedgehogs out of my office.
8) For all the grace and mercy that God has shown us this year! I know we've had a very tough year... financially, emotionally and psychologically... but through Gods testing of our faith at various times this year, He has led me to prayer more often than I used to.
9) For all the bloggy friends I've made this year! You guys are awesome and I love you! I wish you all lived next door!
10) And again thankful for my husband. You keep me loved, safe & sane.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I wish I were thankful for having lost 25 pounds, too! It's a good thing we have enough other things to make up for that. :)

I'm with you on #1 on each list!!!
#9, I feel the same way. I really felt cared for when everyone came looking for me and was so supportive.
And Malcolm in the middle is one of my all time favorites. Thanks for sharing.
Have a happy Thanksgiving!!!
