things to be thankful for...

to get myself in the spirit of thanksgiving, i'd like to start a list of things that i'm thankful for. by no means can i create a comprehensive list of blessings in my life, but i''ll attempt to catalog the most important ones! there have been so many recently...a wonderfully amazing husband of three-and-a-half months, with whom i get to share every detail (from the inconsequential to the profound); a comfortable new home; wedding gifts for just about any domestic activity possible (cooking, decorating, entertaining, cleaning, organizing, living); becoming part of a church where we've made new friends and have been both challenged and encouraged; supportive family interested in our lives; long drives to contemplate and debrief the day; plenty of work to do for pay in a psychology lab at gt; plenty of work to do for free at my internship, with the benefits of new learning experiences and interesting stories; the chance to discover more about myself through my counseling classes; friends near with whom to have dinner, see movies, play games, go shopping, view museum exhibits, and (yes) attend football games, and friends far to visit and keep in touch with; the use of all my physical, mental, and emotional faculties (easily taken for granted); a sense of humor; grace to be imperfect; the freedom to take the long way home; the creativity inspired by music, art, and poetry; and a growing relationship with my Creator.

lastly, i'd like respond to something chris posted and point out that i'm not actually trying to make him fat. he's just happens to bat clean-up for all the leftovers that aren't quite enough to constitute another meal. add this service to the list of things i'm thankful for, and have a happy thanksgiving!
