GRATITUDES - Thanksgiving 2010 version

Yay Sue!! That's always nice.

I'm thankful for my DH making me eggs and bacon for breakfast. With a Starbucks Doubleshot on the side. :-)
 
Today I am thankful that i had a day off from work- that I survived 3 dance lessons, and that my oven has self clean feature- best to clean before I muck it up with Thanksgiving baking!
 
Today I am thankful for sunshine streaming in my windows because tomorrow it will rain ( then I will only have sonshine!
 
Two things from me today:

1) I'm thankful that my local supermarket has my favourite champagne on sale at 50% off ... what better reason to buy a bottle (or two) can there be? LOL!

2) I'm thankful everyday to the doctors and nurses in Singapore that cared for my DH (& I) after he had his spinal cord injury 9 years ago. Without their prompt treatment, he would almost certainly have been paralysed from the neck down. But as it is, he can do pretty much all the things that you & I can do and for that, I am eternally grateful.
 
I am grateful today for a co-worker who gave us an early taste of Thanksgiving - pumpkin pie from Whole Foods!
 
today I am grateful that my mini crock pot did not burn my dinner or burn the house down while I was at work!
 
Wow ladies these are fab!!!! Laurie I love the sun streaming through the windows one!

Today I am thankful for:
1. Birthday gifts - that make people smile
2. For the amazing gift that is my child :)
3. For finishing one project
4. For another project to keep me busy
5. For the roof over my head
6. Communication
7. Good friends that make me laugh :)
 
Whew. Yesterday I was thankful for a wonderful family who had a nice day and a son who understood why it was important to clean up before playing with the spoils of his birthday.

Today, I am grateful that five years ago today, everything worked out not just fine, but perfect; and Ben and I are both here to celebrate his very happy birthday!
 
Sara ((hugs)) Me too - we would have missed knowing you way too much!!!!! Happy Birthday to Ben! So glad he had a fabulous birthday!
 
I am grateful today for friends and co-workers who I can laugh with!

2. That I was successful at making Turkey cupcakes!!! Wooot Woot
3. That I am healthy and happy!

WTG Kat!!! But really, turkey cupcakes??? I can't even begin to imagine how they'd taste ... do tell us more?
 
The cupcakes were inspired by Martha Stewarts version here:


This is mine...I couldn't use coconut because of Nick's Allergy...so mine aren't as textured. Think they are cute though :)

Today I am grateful that

1. its my day off
2. my children love books and reading (just spent money at the Book Fair for them)
3. DH has a day off too and we are going out on romantic lunch! YAY!
 
I am so very thankful that even when it feels like I have nothing to be thankful for (just ATM, I know) I can come here and be blessed by all of you. You inspire me to be thankful even when it seems too hard.
So for right now, i am basking in your gratitudes- I am letting your feelings of thanks wash over me. For that I am deeply and humbly thankful.
 
Helen - Ohhhh I know me too! So thankful Nick loves to read or be read to! We just had a book fair too and I don't mind spending money there! It's the gift that keeps giving! Enjoy your date with hubby!!! :love:

Chris - We are here lifting you up!!! Love you!! ::grouphug

(((HUGS))) to you sweetie!
 
Today I am grateful for friends who knew how important it was for my students to have someone support them.

And for ibuprofen.

And that my husband is getting out of his stinky job!
 
Congrats to YMG Sara!

Today I am grateful for a friend who had gone through a personal tragedy many years ago, yet still reaches out to others in similar spots to help and support them.

Oh my goodness, you all must think I'm an absolute nut-case! Bwuahahahaha ... I thought it was weird putting turkey & cupcakes together, but now seeing the photos I totally GET IT!!!!! LOL!!!!! And Kat ... I reckon your version look way CUTER than Martha's (plus I bet she's got an army of helpers doing all the prep work & hard work for her anyway!!)
 
Today I'm grateful for this wonderful community of like-minded people and the friends I've made since joining it.

I'm also thankful for the opportunity to meet some of my on-line friends in real life!!! I wish I could meet all of you ... wow! can you imagine what it would be like if we could all get together for a digital scrap retreat somewhere???
 
Today I am thankful that I can cook up memories- Aunt Laura's Fruit Salad and Ruth's Rolls for our thanksgiving feast!
 
Today i am thankful for all of you!! Thankful that my children are healthy, happy and safe! Thankful that I live in a country where I feel protected and surrounded by indescribable beauty. Thankful that I have the love of my life as my husband!!
