Today is Thanksgiving here in the United States of America. And as such to tradition, we celebrate this day of the year, with thanks to those who initially settled the states, and paved way for the starting of this nation.

What are you thankful for?

I am thankful for having such a wonderful family. I wouldn't know what I would have done in my life, without them.
 
I am thankful for...

- Dishwashers.
- Fireplaces.
- The local farmer’s market.
- Roasted pumpkin seeds, pumpkin pie, and all of the fall flavors.
- Sweater weather.
- Sunday afternoons, with coffee and a good book.
- Big piles of leaves that you’re never too old to jump in.
- Slow-cookers.
- The best friend you can call after months apart, and pick up right where you left off.
- Pillows.
- Quirky traditions that make my family special.
- Google.
- Planes, trains, and automobiles—because they bring you to family or bring family to you for the holiday.
- Holiday recipes that have been passed down through the family for years.
- Pints of ice cream.
- Peanut butter.
- Chocolate.
- Garbage disposals.
- Puppies!
- Delivery food.
- Friendships, new and old.
- Apple cider cocktails.
- Cocktails, in general.
- The snooze button.
- Sweatpants. And elastic waistbands.
- Cheese. Cheese plates. Macaroni and cheese. Grilled cheese.
- Caller I.D.
- Laundry machines.
- Snail mail.
- Family vacations.
- The healing power of music.
- Headphones on the city bus.
- Fall leaves changing colors.
- A Cookie-a-Day Calendar.
- Chocolate cereal with coconut milk.
- Air fresheners.
- Spellcheck. (But not Autocorrect.)
- Candles that make my home smell like the holidays.
- Movies you can watch again and again.
- The Weather Channel iPhone app.
- Mugs that tell it like it is.
- S’mores and campfires.
- Blanket forts.
- A cake that doesn’t stick to the pan.
- The perfect playlist.
- Thick albums full of photos.
- Hot sauce.
- A continuous string of green lights when you’re already running late.
- Instant oatmeal.
- A really good hug.
- Long drives on open roads.
- The last slice of pie.
- A table full of people who can tell stories from a shared childhood.
- Holiday sales.
- Cozy sheets on chilly mornings.
- The smell of lavender.
- Date nights.
- The snooze button.
- Really good co-workers.
- Belly laughs.
- The barista who knows your coffee order by heart.
- Saturday mornings.
