"The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!" (Henry Ward Beecher)Things I'm thankful for right now:
Family located all throughout the US (not to mention here with me in Sweden), some that are soon to be almost-neighbors
Friends located throughout the world; old ones, new ones, soon-to-be ones
Huge strollers that plow through the snow and carry everything from baby to groceries
A clean apartment (relatively, anyway) in which to live and welcome guests
A new house waiting for us stateside, made possible through much hard work and miniscule interest rates
A co-chef for Thanksgiving that loves to cook as much as I do, and also once served as my co-chef when we decided we could cater a wedding (never again! but it was fun)
The internets that - while sometimes, admittedly, serves a thorn in my side - on a good day provides me with insights, new ideas, new friends, recipes, an outlet for thoughts, inspiration, motivation, and good old fashioned 'know-how'
Happy Thanksgiving to you. Be thankful, eat lots, and stay the heck away from Black Friday.
