Thanksgiving Thursday

The lovely Nicole at What a Trip! is hosting a weekly gratitude-fest and this morning has already been so wondrous, I'm in!

This morning, I'm thankful...

1.) that Darren's still coughing, but with less frequency. He's getting better.

2.) for Sarah's Phyllis Diller-esque bedhead. I can't help but smile each time she staggers into our room.

3.) for Scott's snoring. The audible confirmation he is breathing, at rest, and by my side for another day.

4.) for the weight and warmth of thick blankets.

5.) for how it feels to be resting while sandwiched between my dozy children in the morning -- their little warm feet pressed against my calves (Darren) and thighs (Sarah).

6.) for Wal-Mart brand cinnamon toaster waffles.

7.) for a microwave to re-warm my coffee.

8.) for the way the sunlight looks diffused by our beige curtains.

9.) that Sarah's new jeans and Darren's new camoflage pants both fit perfectly and they are wearing them happily today.

10.) that it'd be easy to come up with another 10 reasons to be thankful this morning.
