If you’ve followed this blog for a while, you may have noticed that occasionally I write a “thankful” blog post. There are at least two reasons for this…

1.  It’s important to not only be thankful, but to express it;

2.  Sometimes when you can’t think of anything else to write about, you can always throw a thankful blog out there. In fact, that alone is something to be thankful for.

So now two weeks into 2012, I’m thankful for…

The fact that it’s suddenly colder tonight, after two unseasonably warm weeks. Cold in January is kind of a good thing;

My heater and electric blanket;

Pop-tarts;

A cardiologist who was old enough to call me “kiddo,” who told me, “You’re all good, kiddo;”

A nearly completed book. I’m talking about writing, not reading;

Trader Joe’s;

My new cool canvas and leather messenger bag from the Lovely Miss Courtney;

A daughter who works at the Gap;

A maxed-out piano teaching schedule;

Fun kids at two schools;

A fun, although slightly older, kid at home.

May you have a thankful 2012!
