A Thanksgimme Day

It's Sunday afternoon, my ma and little sister are hanging out in my all-of-a-sudden-very-cramped condo, with an air mattress on the living room floor and the smell of the stuffing on the oven. My fingers still smell like the fresh rosemary I just prepared. The new Broken Social Scene is playing but I have a feeling mum will ask me to turn it off soon when it gets, for lack of a better word, busier. I'm still revelling in the beauty of last night's concert, in my pyjamas though I should probably shower soon... but it is, after all, still the holidays. WHOOPEEE!!!

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I'm making a list (a work in progress, of course) of things I am thankful for. I did this with my kids earlier in the week in their journals and most of them consisted of: "Thank you for my cars" and "Thank you for Lego" with a few girly "Thank you for the beautiful flowers".... I'll try and look a little deeper than that.

I'm thankful for:
-the autumn colours
-the crisp blue sky
-family that loves me, despite all my faults, and that i love too
-friends from near and far that don't feel so far (even if I miss their hugs and smiling faces)
-a roof over my head, warmth and down comforters
-good music, many minutes of the day
-a picnic lunch i have to run off to!
