Thankful for the Now
Sometimes I look towards the future so much, I forget to enjoy what I have today. Someday I may be able to serve Thanksgiving from a beautiful mahogany table with an actual table leaf and matching chairs and not from my secondhand table with a wobbly card table and borrowed chairs shoved up next to it, but today I am thankful for friends and family who do not care about the table or the mismatched secondhand dishes. It is a joyful thing to have enough to share this year.
What small things in this moment are you thankful for today?

Air! I can breath clean air. I can feel air moving around me cooling my body. Air blows in my hair making it dance. Air fills me, surrounds me and sustains me.

I’m thankful for a husband that, although he has hemophilia, hasn’t had to have a blood treatment in over two years. (i’m VERY thankful this past weekend’s accident was no worse than it was).
I’m thankful for a sister who was there for me through the whole thing, even though she was 100 miles away.
For a beautiful new house, a stable job, and a frugal heart and mind.

I am thankful for the love of my partner Matt. without him life would be so much harder.
This year especially as my mother died and he was so wonderful throughout.

My new toothbrush.
And yes, there’s a story.
Happy Thanksgiving!

What a wonderful reminder. I’m thankful for my husband and kids, and our extended family who’ll be coming to visit – in spite of our old furniture and crowded rooms!

Like most people, I have a million things to be thankful, but you don’t want to hear my whole list. Here’s the short version:
At the moment, I’m thankful for the mild south Texas fall weather and my nearly-complete kitchen. My (recently repaired) working oven is a sweet bonus.
I’m also thankful for children so eager to help make Thanksgiving pies that I have to go start them RIGHT NOW.

I am so very thankful for my present life AS I was in a coma for 50 days back in 1993…sure I was left with a Traumatic Brain Injury BUT AT LEAST I WAS AND AM STILL ALIVE
