I have many things to be thankful for this year. Here is my list (also posted on my family’s Thanksgiving blog). If you’re so inclined, please feel free to hop over and post your own list (instructions).
I am thankful for:
Fog that burns off
corduroys
TRAIL RUNNING!
a daughter who is affectionate and generous
a husband who lets me run every Saturday
Quaker meetings
the smell of freshly roasted coffee
visiting relatives

enjoying the best fall colors in Seattle in recent memory
real maple syrup
restaurants that offer decent, vegetarian/fish options
a good pie crust
Facebook- for allowing me to reconnect with old friends and keep up with existing ones
a health insurance plan that covers acupuncture
Obama
being excited about an election
a good jogging stroller
snow-capped mountains
camping as a family
car pool lanes
