Thankful

This thanksgiving weekend we have much to be grateful for. Here is my list of the more random things that I am thankful for:

• Lucky Charms
• Real estate agents who put up with me
• My dogs, not other peoples dogs, just mine. 
• Snow (I love snow and winter and it has come early to Fort McMurray!)
• Patience, when there is a whole slew of dirty dishes in the sink, that I didn't create
• My husband's patience when he finds the hole that Tango dug in our backyard. 
• Clawfoot soaker tub that makes for a great dog wash bay. So happy we decided to tile the walls.
• Wine, which makes for great conversation and even better razzing afterwards when you count how many your family and friends drank. (Nineteen, 1-9, how is that even humanely possible??)
• Grey's Anatomy, living life vicariously through fictitious characters who have the messiest workplace and love lives. 
• Candles that can mask the wet dog smell
• Accounting 250, for taking up all my time guessing the answer because the logic is not strong with this one. 
• Indigenous studies papers on topics I actually care about and kind of love.
  
• Referencing as many references in one sentence as is appropriate (is three separate quotes too much in one sentence?)  
• Volunteering for local non-profits who make a big difference in the community. Girls Inc. teaches girls as young as 4 self-defence! 
• Volunteering in Canadian Tire where you can catch up with 50 of your friends and acquaintances because everyone goes there at least once on the weekend.
• Catching up with a friend you haven't seen for years because you are a bad friend and don't call (like ever) and apologizing and her saying that's ok, we'll do better next time. Phew!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Have a great weekend and remember even if you are passive aggressively thankful for things, you are still thankful and that makes it A-OK!
