so thankful

for my husband (which I especially realize when he goes away to a reading conference for 48 whole hours)

for my parents

for my sisters and brother

for my in-laws

for my whole family, basically

for my church

for my small group at church (the cupcakes were a big hit, by the way)

for my job

for my coworkers who are my friends

for my students (well, most days, anyway)

for my home

for "my" town - really, for the community that living in a small town (and being involved here) brings

for my friends

for my life. just all of it.

I am blessed. And so thankful for it all.
