I am thankful for coffee, forgiveness, my family, my friends and Jake. I’m thankful for every Natures Miracle Product, even the ones I don’t know about.  For sunglasses, thoughtfulness, hugs, kisses, goat cheese and pizza. I’m thankful for kids named Josh, Maddy, Emmie, Hadley, Blake and Lane. I’m grateful for memories and hope and faith and happiness and the ability to choose the direction of each those. I’m thankful for those who give more often than they get. I’m grateful that love-lives-on. For a group chat on FB with four gals that must.love.dogs. For vets and vet techs and people who want to grow up to be vets. For those who have found their passion and those who never stop looking. I’m thankful for Brussels Sprouts. For those who fight for our freedom. For dog diapers, ice cubes, The Container Store and Sharpie pens. For the ‘On this day’ feature on FB, for music and contagious laughter. For Melvin. For Joy. I’m thankful for this blog community, you saved me this year. Most of all, I’m thankful for love.

Happy Thanksgiving, from me and my little turkey!

Just because I have a neck waddle does not make me a turkey.
