Well, it’s Thanksgiving week, and I’ve started to see lists pop up online of everything that you’re thankful for. It’s a wonderful tradition, so I thought I’d do a list of my own. Of course I’m thankful for the traditional things: A great husband, a warm home and a roof over my head, a loving family, and an adorable dog, good friends, indoor plumbing etc… But in this list, I want to focus on some of the less common things that people really should be giving thanks for. After all, it's the little things in life that make the difference.
What I’m thankful for:
10) Staplers and paperclips. I’m a teacher, and these workhorses of the office often get overlooked. I even did a post just about paperclips. That’s how thankful I am.
9) Cheese. Though I’m certain cheese was probably invented on accident, boy am I thankful that someone let their milk spoil.
8) Digital Cooking thermometers. Never having to wonder if your burger is done. Priceless.
7) Breathright Strips. My husband is probably more thankful for these than I am.
6) Nonstick aluminum foil. This stuff is magic. Not even burnt cheese sticks to it.
5) Wireless Internet. We live in the future. I can check my email at McDonalds. I can use my laptop without cords. Woo!
4) Chocolate. No explanation necessary.
3) Board Games. No electricity or computer required. Just good clean fun.
2) 64 oz bottles of Gold Peak Unsweetened Iced Tea available at the grocery store. It’s like getting an expensive glass from a fancy restaurant every day.
1) Spandex in Jeans. Jeans were comfortable and casual before, but now whenever I wear a pair of old jeans without a little spandex in them, I’m reminded of just how much more comfortable they are now.
Have a great Turkey Day everyone! And be thankful!
