Happy Thanksgiving all my GDW friends!  I hope you are having a wonderful day – filled with family, friends, and of course – FOOD!

Mike and I are on our way to Mexico RIGHT NOW – but I couldn’t leave without putting together one last post for you!

3 things on my list to “talk about” in this post.  1 down, 2 to go:

1. Wish Bloggies Happy Holiday
2. Thank fab Guest Bloggers
3. Thankful List

Number 2 – I have left you in the hands of some fantastic guest bloggers while I’m gone.  For all of the wonderful bloggers AND READERS who put together posts while I was gone in San Fran, and while I’m gone in Mexico – I can’t thank you enough!  You have some amazing ideas/recipes/tips – and you all said such wonderfully kind things about GDW (I promise I didn’t pay them to do that! )

Number 3 – I know a lot of other bloggers have already done this (but it’s not gonna stop me! ), but I really think Thanksgiving is a good time to reflect on the things in your life that you are thankful for.  Without further ado..

My list of “What I’m thankful for”:

• My Husband. He loves me no matter what, and endlessly supports me in all of my endeavors and decisions (no matter how crazy they are!)

• My Dog.  She really is such a trouble maker, but she brings me countless moments of happiness & laughter every day.  I’d pick those movements & smiles over a clean house or shoes without bite marks any day.

• My Family.  On every level (Husband, Parents, Brothers, In-Laws, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins) – I am surrounded by amazing people who love me unconditionally and genuinely care about me.  I know not everyone is blessed with family – and I am thankful for mine every day.

• My House.  It might not be huge (TWSS?), it might not be sparkling new, but it provides us shelter and warmth, and it’s just the right size for us.
• My Job.  Sure there are days when it’s crazy.  Sure there are days where its stressful, or people are angry at each other.  But at the end of the day – I am extremely fortunate to work where I do, with the people I do. 
• My Health.  Yes – my foot has been a real jerk lately – but if that is the only complaint I have with my body – my life is not that bad.  And by not that bad – I mean – I am one lucky girl.
• You.  This blog is the only hobby/passion I’ve ever had that I’ve stuck with for more than a few weeks.  I look forward to posting so I can “talk to you” – and I look forward to your comments because I love hearing what you have to say.  I have learned so much from you, and you have brightened many a day for me!  Thank you so much for your care and support!

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!  See you next week!

Now it’s your turn – What are you thankful for?
