*thankful thursday, 8.24.06*
Today I am thankful for:
~someone to cry with after a difficult day.
~a good sleep after a difficult day.
~a slight drop in temperature making room for the return of the evening walk! It’s also a sign that fall will be returning this year. Eventually. Maybe.
~walking two nights in a row, spotting bats and birds and cats and dogs.
~the pink smear of a sunset across the sky last night.
~Pea’s appreciation of the things I brought her from Chicago. Particularly the toys.
~Pea’s new word, “hello!” It comes out sort of like “howlow” and makes me laugh every time.
~Pea’s horse noise, which sounds like the laugh of Beavis. Or is it Butthead?
~my mom heading to Florida for the weekend. She doesn’t get much vacation time and tends to use it all on things like coming to my house. Maybe I will call her eight thousand times on the day she gets home just to make sure she “got home okay.” Like she did to me Monday.
~getting to see Father Pancakes in Chicago.
~my dad having his surgery next week. One step closer to being on his feet again.
~hope.
~rest.
~someone to wait with at the airport.
~the healing power of the Frappuccino.
~far more reasons to smile than to cry.
~home.
ETA: Jag Jamie and Blonde Jamie are thankful, too. Who else?
I really enjoy doing this. Even if it’s been a sleep-deprived, funky sort of week, I never have trouble thinking of things to be thankful for.
