MmeGigs -> RE: What are you thankful for? (11/27/2008 9:24:20 PM)

It's 11PM, hubby's on his way to bed, I've finally got enough room in my digestive system to eat my slice of pumpkin pie, and I've had about the best day I can imagine. I am thankful that my daughter and her family live 400 ft down my driveway, and I can see my grandkids every day. We had a great day together today, and when it was time for the day to end they had a 60 second trip home.
I've got a heck of a lot more to be thankful for. I have a hubby who is my best friend. After 7 1/2 years of marriage, I still feel honeymooney about him, and he about me. We say, "I love you," frequently - at least a couple times a day - and really mean it every time we say it. We hold hands a lot, and sleep best when we're spooning, as long as I'm not having hot flashes.
I'm thankful that my daughter and I are so close, and that her honey and I are so close. And that being so close and living so close together and being so interdependent (we're helping them get my daughter through college), we all have the capacity to stay out of each other's shit.
I'm thankful for my job. I've been there 19 years, and I still like it. My boss is wonderful. My coworkers are good people. My job is challenging, but not so much that it keeps me up nights.
I'm thankful for my friends. I know some wonderful people who I know I can count on if I ever need them. They're family in every way that really matters.
Life is good. I'm a lucky woman.
