I am thankful for a good place to work. Even though I complain sometimes I have a hard time imagining that any other place would be so caring, understanding, helpful and even fun sometimes.
Today I am thankful for MSN Messenger which allows me keep in contact with my friend who lives in another state. It also allows us to watch our favorite television show “together.”

Yesterday I was most thankful for the fact that the day ended.
However, because that seems like a cheap thing to be thankful for today I’m thankful for this: LOLcat Bible.

I am thankful for crocheting and good friends to crochet with. Last night I co-hosted the second “Craft Night” for my church. We have lots of knitters and crocheters in our congregation, so my friend Janie and I are having a monthly craft night, at least until Christmas. Last night was very fun and relaxing, and I finished one Christmas scarf and started another.

Yesterday I was thankful for water aerobics and the giggling, extra energy, and new friends it brings me.
I also realized that I tend to be much more thankful at the end of the day than at the begining. And I don’t want to have to drag my computer home every day to write my thankful thing in the evening (if I can pry it away from my hubby). So… henceforth, my thanks from the previous day, not the current day, will be posted.

Okay, okay, so I’m really bad at blogging every day. In my defense, yesterday when I was thinking about what I was thankful for my husband was hogging my computer to obsessively look up stuff on the new Driod phone. But that doesn’t mean I wasn’t thankful, and I was even thinking about being thankful, which is really point.
Yesterday I was thankful for meaningful, well-crafted, evocative worship. Mostly I’m thankful for that every Sunday because I love my church. www.thetablefellowship.net. Join us sometime!

Today I am thankful for unexpected hikes with 360 degree views, sunshine and clouds rolling over the mountains. Beautiful. beautiful. Thank you God.

Today I am thankful for pajamas, chick flicks and my cat, my own personal holy trinity of relaxation.

Okay, technically its day 3, but by the end of the day yesterday I wasn’t thankful for much. However, on further reflection there are many thing yesterday to be thankful for… So, to make up for it here are a few…
1) intermittent windshield wipers- it was doing some yucky spitting stuff yesterday on my drive to the airport. I can’t imagine how annoying it would have been to drive through it without intermittent wipers. Even with intermittent wipers it was very annoying. (FYI-for an interesting movie about the creation of intermittent wipers watch “Flash of Genius“)
2) Blankets and Slippers- last night I was having one of my spaz out moments, which means I was totally overwhelmed with my life and trying to fix it by angrily cleaning- this does not help by the way. So eventually my hubby grabbed me and forced me to stop and then I curled up on the couch with a blanket and my slippers and life got a little better.
3) Chinese Take-out- so I didn’t have to cook last night.

There is a movement on Facebook to post something you’re thankful for every day as your status. I think its a good exercise in thankfulness, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to use up my status every day. So I’m going to attempt to do that here. Hopefully every day, or close, until after Thanksgiving. As my friend who does National Blog Posting Month said, it’s a good discipline.
So today I am thankful for….
coffee. It’s a small thing. It’s not very original. It’s fairly addictive. But my coffee addiction also means that I have a good excuse to interact with my co-workers and seminary students and faculty. I frequently find someone in the seminary kitchen, also filling up on the bean of life. It gives me a great excuse to say hi, see how life is for them, and check in.
And sometime in the last two years my co-workers and I have been taking nearly daily intentional coffee breaks. We have discovered that we like each other better, we feel more connected, we help each other out and we actually get things done when we take these breaks. We have started calling them “staff meetings” in a semi-serious tone. Without coffee would we have these breaks? I don’t know but they have made my work life that much more enjoyable and enriching. This is why I’m thankful for coffee.
