Another List of Thankful.

Today is not thanksgiving. It's the Eve of it. However tomorrow (get up, throw on our aprons, cook for a billion hours, then speed over to my sister's) holds no time for typing. At least that's my hypothesis. So, anyways, here's my list of what I'm thankful for. In no order.

1. The ocean, the creatures within it, and the beach to walk on. Even though I live in flat dallas, still.

2. A brain that functions and thinks, and wonders a lot and questions a lot too.

3. 24 hour days. I like need to start over often.

4. Medicine that makes my mom feel better.

5. Poetry, because when you read a good one you discover a new road to ideas.

6. Books. Books. Books.

7. Legs that let me run when I want to, or fall when I need to.

8. Hot tea and summer smoothies.

9. A loving God. Understanding, welcoming, healing, confusing. Beautiful.

10. Dad's cheesy jokes. That he tells to me when I'm angry and I roll my eyes and say they're horrible.

11. Nail polish. Don't I sound girly! I guess this is a little ridiculous, but I do love it.

12. My age. I'm thankful that I'm fifteen. I like it.

13. Blankets to stay warm in and beds to sleep in, and pillows to dream on.

14. Oh, and that reminds me of dreams- yes dreams too. I get to escape the world for a few hours.

15. Sisters and (brother) that are mean and nice and sometimes always pesky.

16. Our military guys and gals.

17. Jesus Christ

18. A mom that will never not say "Goodnight I love you" at the end of each day.

19. Friends- the ones who have loved me,  the ones who have spoken, and the ones who laugh.

20. Being an Aunt to (almost!) SIX great kids.

21. Deep songs that speak more than what the lyrics say.

22. Life

What are YOU thankful for?
