thanksgiving is always a little of a let down, because it is such an american experience. no matter how much i try to emulate it here, it just doesn't match up. so we eat a little better on that day, skype to family back home, and look forward to christmas time when Santa, Nana and Papa Arty will be here. Nevertheless, I am thankful for many things, and reading friends reasons for being thankful, i take stock of how lucky i am every November.
I am thankful for my little family, my healthy, happy, smart, funny, loving girls. My sarcastic, loving, hard-working, witty husband. My daft puppy dog. I am thankful for all my friends, both old and new. I am thankful for being comfortable, having a house and heating, and food. I am thankful that I get to be at home and raise my daughters. I am thankful for my family back home that i don't get to see as often as i would like, but they are still there if i need them. I am thankful for my health, and the fact that i get to wake up everyday to this life. and right now i am thankful that david didn't eat all the chocolate last night so i can have a little after the really stressful walk to school. it is the little things that make you realize just how lucky you are......
