I enjoy Thanksgiving much more than most holidays—a day that revolves around food and football, what’s not to love? But perhaps more than culinary appreciation, Thanksgiving by its very definition is a cynic’s day off. And frankly, full-time cynicism is an exhausting profession. So here is my 2007 List of Things that I am Thankful For that I humbly present to you, and wish you a wonderful holiday with bountiful lists of your own. This year I’ve stopped counting my blessings at 101 for the sake of time. So in no particular order with the exception of number one…. My family Presidential term limits Amy’s doctors The First Amendment Faith Windows The unexplained Old friends New friends Future friends October 30, 1990 Kathy Butler Saturdays Hope A big boy that stills thinks he’s smaller A little boy who thinks he’s a whole lot bigger Paris Hilton’s dimming spotlight A tall eggnog latte Home Sunsets on the Gulf Baby perfume Buying only one size diaper at the store For what I already have A good book Opportunity My iPhone Tasha Spontaneity Sangria Truffle oil Satellite radio Surprises Sacraments A good pair of jeans Fresh flowers Having my hands full Real butter and whole milk Sand between my toes Spring Mascara Fresh herbs in place of dried That I didn’t get that tattoo Christmas Beating the spread A sense of humor A sense of perspective Belly laughs Liking the same music as my kids A full tank of gas (but not the price tag) Vacuum marks in the carpet Lingering meals With delicious conversation The first day of the season you get to wear a sweater Down comforters Homemade anything Hockey My jobs Road trips Wifedom Good health Family traditions Karma Date night A messy desk Followed by a clean one Lindsay Lohan off of the roadways Footy pajamas Online shopping Sunshine sneezes Did I mention the eggnog lattes? The Sunday paper When spammers and telemarketers get prosecuted Dreary Russian novels Proper grammar TiVo Grandparents Birthday candle wishes Christmas cards <strike>Close parking spots</strike>Valet parking Something simmering on the stove Motherhood Doing my best New car smell Thoughts. Jokes Everyone reading this Parties for no reason Dressing up Bedtime stories Being in love…still Generosity Thanksgiving Lumps in my throat Sleeping through the night Recycling Digging in Not having to translate Amyspeak because it is obvious! Birthday lunches with the girls Baby slobber 100. Puppy slobber That this list is so easy
Happy Thanksgiving.
