All over Facebook I see posts about what my friends are
thankful for each day- friends, family, the nineties… Okay, maybe not the
nineties, but they should be thankful for that decade. Hammer Pants, poofy bangs, great
sitcoms… Where would we be this time of
year without a reminder about Festivus and the Airing of Grievances?!
Occasionally, we get a reminder that life is about the
little things, right? Of course, I’m incredibly thankful that I
don’t have to look far at all to find a thousand big things that are truly blessings in my
life, but I bet you’ve taken some great little things for granted. Consider these:
-Kiwi- A fruit that IS its own bowl?! Just cut, and
scoop. C’mon. That’s awesome.
-sweatpants, yoga pants and all elastic waistbands- My
pregnancies (and, well, every day) made me gain quite an appreciation for
these.
-Ketchup- I fit in
great at the kids’ table. I’ll declare
my love for it in any five-star restaurant without reservation. (Yeah, I’m thankful for puns… even bad ones.)
-One-Hit-Wonders You
know you like to jam out to these… and it makes your day, too! Don’t deny it. I’ve seen you …
-miniature chocolate candy-
I’d rather eat ten miniature Heath bars than one regular sized one. I don’t know why, but I’m thankful for them.
-words that are fun to say- “Indubitably” and “anomaly” are two good ones.
-cheap wine that still comes with a cork- I just feel a bit classier without a screw
top when I offer it to friends.
-Nice pens- My appreciation for a good pen is a bit
ridiculous. It’s the combination of
smooth writing, a good weight, no-smear ink, etc. It just makes for a good day of work.
-Reruns- Reba, The Cosby
Show, Friends, Golden Girls, Seinfeld, Fresh Prince--- See why
people should appreciate the 90’s more?
Happy Thanksgiving!
