A few things that I am presently thankful for:
1) Leigh Ann Sellers, gal extraordinaire!
2) Ruby's paw on the paper when I am reading (translation: I love you, please pay attention to me.)
3) Good friends, local and distant.
4) My outstanding, heart-warming family.
5) The constant ability to pursue and learn new things.
6) Envisioning bright futures!
7) The faith that one day one of those visions will come true.
8) Being able to drive around the neigborhood and collect leaves to compost in the garden.
9) Fun hobbies, like kickstarting my old motorcycle (which is the current hobby, as opposed to actually riding it).
10) Good food and plenty of it.
Hope, you have such an upbeat attitude; it's great to be around you and soak it up. Enjoy a warm holiday with friends and family!
