I'm declaring today Thankful Tuesday!!
If you want to play, reply either in the comments or on your own blog with things that YOU are thankful for today. As many as you like! As you can see from my list, they don't need to be the usual things. :)
I'm thankful for:
1. My family. (Okay, that is a usual thing. But I AM!)
2. Public radio.
3. Salt & vinegar potato chips.
4. My gargoyle mascot guy, who's sitting beside me now, eyes lit.
5. John Denver, the early songs.
6. The moment when you look at a picture you took, or a sentence you wrote, and you LOVE IT.
7. Mountains.
8. New books.
9. Hugs.
10. The voices in my head. (No, not like that. CHARACTERS.)
Anyone wanna play? It does have a cheering effect. :)
Thanks for the idea, Susan. I've used it on my blog.
ReplyDeleteYay, Cathy! Thanks for playing.

10. Plot twists that come to me as I'm falling asleep.

ReplyDeleteOoooh, excellent list. When I come to NYC, I want to visit the Met with YOU. :)
we shall gaze upon Caravaggio, drink wine with Rembrandt, (and most likely get our asses kicked by the guards!) and then loll around in the Temple of Dendur.
ReplyDeleteI love the Met, I do!
