Why wait for Thanksgiving?
Today I’m thankful for…
- Flannel sheets and a fluffy down comforter.
- My husband’s tousled bed head.
- Cozy sweater dresses and slouchy suede boots.
- Quaker Oat Squares cereal, no milk.
- Southern New England Home, Food & Wine and Design New England sitting on my desk just waiting to be read.
- One of my blog crushes following me on Twitter.
- A dinner date with a friend, complete with a chilled bottle of wine.
- Sun, sun, glorious sun and not a cloud in site.
- A hair appointment on Thursday (the blonde won out…at least for a little while longer.)
- Minty chapstick with just the right amount of tingle.
- CDs of our wedding music given to us by the DJ.
- Green tea, piping hot on this chilly day.
What are you thankful for today?

I’m thankful that this weekend I’m attending a local wine tasting with my girls. I am afraid though, that with the week I’ve had, it will go something like this, “Um…Miss? This is a wine TASTING, not a wine GUZZLE.”
Hehehe!
Oh, and you know I’m grateful for Luke and his morning suggleyness.

Hm, I’m getting in line with the delurkers (is that even a word?)
I’m thankful for
- still having a job, even though I work right in the middle of the financial crisis
- my mom having recovered really well from difficult spine surgery
- my cats spooning me last night, making me feel so warm, snuggly and loved
- friends who are there for me at all times of the day and night
- the ability to be perfectly happy on my own
- the forecast announcing the first snow for this weekend
… and probably a lot more

I think I commented once forever ago, but let’s call me a delurker too, shall we?
I’m thankful for:
Morning cuddles
First snowfall!
Warm giraffe hats
How much I love my university/courses/learning in general
Licorice spice tea
Having best friends who make the most hilariously ridiculous statements.

I am thankful for snow! It’s blanketing the entire landscape making everything seem fresh and clean and it’s drawing me into the Christmas spirit!

I am thankful that jewel tones are in style right now. (At least, I think they still are), because I’m doing my best to rock awesome new accessories.
And, I’m thankful for… sunshine that’s finally peeking out from behind clouds, and for Pumpkin Spice coffee creamer.
Fun post! Now I’m even MORE excited for Thanksgiving

I’m thankful my dad is still paying for my school, allowing us to buy things like a couch and a dresser instead of putting that money toward books.

I’m thankful for:
- My wonderful family!
- Having time off for Thanksgiving. This is very exciting. Last year I worked from 1 AM until 7 AM on Thanksgiving and I didn’t have enough time off to go home for Christmas to see my mom and step-family!
- The relatively smooth transition to living with my boyfriend (so far)!
- The beautiful weather in the South right now.
- My step-father’s safe recovery following his recent surgery on his back.
- My father’s home cooking and close proximity so that I can indulge in it more often!
- All of the wonderful, beautiful, amazing patients I meet, no matter how sad their story. They have bestowed upon me somewhat of a checks and balances and teach me to appreciate every single day, even if I’m not happy all day, every day.

* The sun, even if Fall is never ever coming. It’s mid-November, and I’m still tan! Ish.
* Coffee. Tea. Diet Coke. CAFFEINE! (Serious lack of sleep last night.)
* A cuddly puppy who makes sure that, even if I am only getting 4 hours of sleep, it is a GOOD 4 hours.
* Prospects. Choices. Free will.
* Books, reading, all the amazing authors out there.
* Presents given and received.
* Bloggy buddies the world over.
* All my friends. And family too.
* YOU!

I’m thankful for a lot of things, but I don’t really feel that cheerful to talk about what I’m thankful for today. I’ll revisit and probably still this idea closer to Thanksgiving when Grant and I have spent more than a few hours together. We’ve been apart for four weeks!

I’m thankful that I can stand on my own two feet. That I’m learning how to express opinions and not care what other people thing. I’m also thankful for Venti lattes and the new shoes I’m buying right after work today!

Yeah who’s your blog crush?!
What I’m thankful for:
-Red cups and Christmas drinks at Starbucks
-having a kitchen to myself while I’m housesitting
-my sister, just for existing
-the ability to sleep in every day
-a roof over my head
-the chance to travel for 3 months in Europe this year
-my awesome sort-of boyfriend
I actually did lose my job this year when they shut down my department, and I’m still unemployed, and so I often get caught up feeling a bit sorry for myself. It’s good to remember what I’m grateful for when I’m in this situation because I often forget that I’m grateful for anything in my life at the moment. But of course things could be a lot worse and there are good reasons why they’re not. And I am thankful for those.

I’m doing a similar post on my blog – I’m talking about what I’m thankful for during the 10 days leading up to Thanksgiving! Seems like we don’t think we don’t think about what we are thankful about nearly enough!
Great post!
