Giving Thanks...

for family that enjoys collard greens so much that they finished them...but bought the ingredients so I can make more? who. does. that???

for the brother in law who called to remind me about the first sweet potato pie that 'almost gave the family diabetes'.

for his hater of the year wife that co-signed and added to the list of reasons why she'll be written out of my will in my senior years.

for my dad's acknowledgement that Thanksgiving dinner was like when my grandmother was alive.

for spanx that held it all together afterward.

for the best friend that indulged me in Midnight Christmas shopping though she had the itis and slept for half the way. She treated me to dunkin donuts and vanilla chai latte. I treated her to a picture of her sleeping with her mouth open. *chuckling*

for Christmas shopping that was supposed to be for the family...but ended up stocking my closet...don't judge me. just love me.

for one small accomplishment making room for another.

for God's grace.

for life being just so good sometimes that I forget the dumb stuff that weighs me down.
