Today is Thanksgiving and I have so much to be thankful for this year. (cross posted on Successful Teaching)
· Husband (the center of my life!)
· Family (I feel the love!)
· Good Health (I feel good!)
· Money to pay my bills (being able to pay my bills lets me do other things without worrying)
· Ability to travel and mark places off our wish list (I love traveling to new places)
· My father who will turn 90 on December 7th (after his stroke 2 years ago, I didn’t think he would make it to this age)
· Learning Mandarin (learning to speak Chinese is something I always wished I could do)
· Online friends (I feel so connected with others rather than isolated)
· Meeting online friends in person (I find this fascinating)
· Ability to help others (it makes me feel useful)
· Writing my blogs which I thoroughly enjoy (sharing my life with others)
· Teaching graduate courses for Furman in the summer. (sharing with others about my teaching experience)
· Books (to help me when I want to escape the real world)
· Laptop and internet (so I can stay connected)
· TVs (which are on at home all of the time)
· Recipes (so I can learn to make new dishes)
· Sunshine (makes me smile!)
· Music (makes me feel happy)
· Ipod (to take my mind off my misery while I exercise)
· Cell phones (with Verizon I can call family members easily)
· Toyota Prius (which now has almost 100,000 miles on it!)
· Cameras (because I love taking pictures)
· Rain (especially since we experienced a drought)
· Flowers (they make me smile!)
· Hiking (I love to experience God’s world)
