Thankful Saturday

I’ve seen people doing daily posts for November of things they are thankful for. I really like this idea but I don’t know that I could keep up every day for the whole month so I thought I’d try doing a post each Saturday for the month of November. If you’d like to join in on this lower commitment but still thank filled topic on your blog feel free to leave a link in the comments. If you’d like to leave a comment with what you’re thankful for this week that would be great too. There is no requirement for how many things you list or if they’re serious or silly. Mine will be all over the place.

I am thankful for:

Chocolate. In a chocolate/vanilla situation I will 99% of the time chose chocolate. It is the flavor of my life.

Being able to drive. It provides a freedom that I wouldn’t have otherwise.

Compassion. In a world that can be incredibly cruel whenever I see one human being having compassion for another I am touched. I am equally touched when that compassion is for an animal who in all likelihood doesn’t feel that compassion in return.

I am thankful for you blog reader who comes here to read my thoughts. Most of the people I come in contact with on a daily basis don’t want to hear my thoughts on yarn or what I’m knitting. I am thankful to have this outlet and the many interactions with like minded crafters.

My cellphone. It lets me be in touch with whoever needs me (and more telemarketers than I ever thought possible) wherever I am. I am also thankful for call forwarding so I can send my home phone calls to my cellphone and I never have to stay home when I’m waiting for an important call.
