1. I'm thankful for a great Thanksgiving day. Everything turned out perfectly, even the overflowing trifle. My mom has sort of retired from cooking Thanksgiving dinners, although she still does the turkey & stuffing. So she lets us do a lot of the work and I love it (well, cooking a big meal a few times a year is nice, anyway!) My darling niece McKenzie wanted to help a lot too, which was great (although, I think one reason behind wanting to help is all of the tasting and licking of spoons she was able to do...but I could be wrong...maybe. ;)
2. I'm thankful my brother found a nice woman to spend his time with (it feels funny calling her his girlfriend when they are both 50ish.) He had a rough divorce a few years ago and it's just nice seeing him happy.
3. I'm thankful for family. I'm grateful I was able to spend today with my mom, four of my siblings, and ten nieces and nephews. We aren't perfect. In fact, we are often kind of a mess of a family but we love each other and I also know they always, always, always have my back. That's a pretty great feeling.
