Rosie is thankful for mom, me, cats, food, dad, toys, dog, and … sister?

This Thanksgiving is the first one that I’ve ever spent away from extended family. Taylor, Rosie and I are chilling in a chilly house in Georgia without any cousins, aunts, uncles, friends, siblings, or grandparents. Today we celebrated by watching ‘The Four Christmases’ and having our Thanksgiving feast at Golden Corral. It’s been pretty understated and relaxed, but I can’t help thinking about all my family I’m away from. And in “Me Too!” blogger style, here’s my gratitude list:
My amazingly loving husband
My creative, sweet and beautiful daughter
Supportive and loving extended family
Many friends around the world, including my bloggin’ friends
Employment, in a time of financial crisis
Shelter, in a time of foreclosure
Faith in the Gospel that keeps me on the straight and narrow
Culture and fun to keep me interesting and sane
Technology to keep me connected
Delicious food and drink to keep my clothes tight
Reliable transportation, by way of car and airplane
Blogging to let me get things off my chest and make new friends
HAVE A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!
