Thoughts For The Week Of Thanks...

I started thinking of how many things I have to be thankful for, from my health to having a roof over my head every night, a loving family, a cute cat (my little Trio Bello) and some spectacular friends. I also tend to make a mental list of things to say when my family and I go around the table during Thanksgiving dinner, since I don't want to ramble on and make a bit of a fool of myself. When I think back on the past few years at Thanksgiving dinner, I have cried (scratch that, it ALWAYS happens), laughed and even have been a bit perplexed (like when my brother's much younger girlfriend was thankful for Chanel, Coach and Juicy Couture [?!]). But I can't help but be thankful for more than just the usual stuff... I am thankful for being able to go to school and be creative every day, to one day bring my imagination to the masses, the music I love and for the way my dad and I love Star Trek a bit too much and say hello with the "Live Long and Prosper" sign (yes, we really do that, I'll find a picture to show one of these days). Even the way Trio wakes me up with a scratchy little meow every morning makes me thankful for so much.  So thank you, to every one who has ever put a smile on my face, a twinkle in my eye and butterflies in my tummy.
What are you thankful for? What do you realize this time of year that makes your life even better?
