Thankful at Thanksgiving

Many of my Facebook friends have been posting daily things in their lives that they are thankful for.  I'll cheat and list a few here. 

I am thankful for / that:
My 93 year old grandmother and her life lesson stories
Everyone needs toothpaste, thus securing my job - even though I don't actually make the stuff
My New York City family - while our biological families are far away, we have each other to watch over and take care of us
Any holiday Reese candy - so much more peanut butter than the regular Reese cup
Everyone that donated to the American Cancer Society during my fundraising campaign for the NYC marathon
I am healthy enough to run 26.2 miles
Coming home to Arkansas
My precious 18 month old niece that finally decided I was worth paying attention to after I followed her around in the yard for an hour making sure she didn't eat anything poisonous or run into the road.
I have a home in an apartment I love
My new Kindle Fire - it is really cool
I experienced the WalMart Black Friday mayhem from a respectable distance - though I still had a momentary feeling of panic when I heard the roar of the crowd - yes there was a roar.
Route 44 Diet Cherry Limeaide
I saw the 4 hour Kardashian wedding event BEFORE I hear that Kim and Kris were divorcing
Fried fish night at Daddy's every time I am in town
I know how to do the Mickey Mouse hot dog dance
Public transportation to the airport in New York
$8 manicures
My iPhone.  I can't even remember life without it.
Friends that you speak to infrequently, but when you do speak it is like you never missed a day talking
Facebook has reconnected me to so many lost friends

I could list many many more, but that would break my Thanksgiving resolution.  Yes, I am resolving earlier so my good habits are already learned when the New Year rolls around.  I am going to write shorter and more frequent blog postings.

Hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
