Tonight I am thankful for good friends. This afternoon I got to hang out with my friend, Cristie, her darling baby, Corbin, and her menagerie of birds and dogs. Simon the parrot spent a good deal of my visit sitting on one shoulder or another and talking into my ear. The last time I saw Cristie…

Today I’m thankful for… I’m not exactly sure. Oh, there’s plenty I’m extremely grateful for. It’s not like I can’t think of anything.

Today I am thankful for busyness. If you know me, I mean really know me, you know I don’t like busy. Too much busy makes me crazy and then I start feeling overwhelmed and I just want to run away and hide in the back of my closet. Not on the side with the shoes…

I’m thankful for access to medicines. I had plans for this evening. Plans that included a little housework and a lot of blogging. Instead I came home from work about 15 minutes early with an excruciating headache. The kind of headache that required medicinal intervention and a rest in the bed for 45 minutes or…
