giving thanks

Eadie...my favoritest buddy

Thanksgiving is mostly associated with eating turkey, gathering with family, and football. Today I am at home, by myself, which is fine--it's my choosing. And while I'm perfectly content with that because family-hoopla isn't really my thing. But I must confess, I do wish I had a partner to spend the day with...but what's new?!?

In spite of that, I am still thankful for plenty today:

Eadith Louise....my trusty 4-legged companion of 13 yrs

Healthy family & animals

Girlfriends who make me laugh & let me cry

Gluten-free baking

Blue skies & sunshine

My Jeep

Vibrators :)

Finding my art voice

The internet & all who share themselves there

A steady paycheck

Polaroids

Morning coffee

Getting to meet my UK penpal after 20 yrs

Possibilities

Scottish men in kilts

Netflix

Mani/pedi's

I could keep going & I'm sure get even sillier with it....point is, it's not difficult to get into a grateful frame of mind if you give yourself permission. And not just one day a year, but each & every day...especially the ones that feel grey & gloomy.

However, today is beautiful and bright & clear & crisp & cool. I have hours & hours to make art (although struggling a bit w/ getting going after an almost month-long hiatus) & 4 days of freedom from the cube. I mean, that alone is enough to be grateful for.

xoxo!
