{Being Thankful}

As Thanksgiving approaches, I find myself pondering my blessings and things I am thankful for a little bit more than usual.

Here is a little list of what I am thankful for today and as you will see, each one varies in degree to the grand scheme of things.



1. Today is my 14th Wedding Anniversary! I am so thankful that God chose me to marry Prince Charming!

2. I am thankful that my daughter has the week off from school. We played Monopoly yesterday and watched old ShirleyTemple movies this afternoon.

3. I am thankful that the Shirley Temple song, "Animal Crackers in my Soup" is finally out of my head this evening.

4. I am thankful for the package I received from family in Denmark.

5. I am thankful that the new lipstick I bought without even trying it on first ended up being a super fabulous color on me.

6. I am thankful for the roses my husband surprised me with this afternoon.

7. I am thankful for the kind words my younger sister shared with me today.

8. I am thankful for a wonderful evening out to dinner to celebrate our anniversary. (I wore the new lipstick)

Sealed with a Kiss, Kirsten

9 Good Things Right Now

9 Good Things Right Now:

1. Leftovers for dinner. (Why did I list food first? Ugh, I should kick myself.)

2. Wearing my totally comfy fuzzy orange socks with the polka dots.

3. My daughter's best friend across the street still manages to smile as sweetly as she ever did even though she has officially lost all her hair due to chemo. A strong 9 year old girl.

4. Positive friends near and far.

5. My husband's eye is healing well after surgery. I love his honey-colored eyes.

6. The excitement and comfort in knowing that it is one day closer to November 1st--I get to see Sarah and my two nephews. I can't wait!!!
