Thankful

I’m taking a short vacation for Thanksgiving to be with my family. I’ll be back next week! Until then, I leave you with this:

Thankful…

for the sounds of laughter and chatter

for knowing my hair doesn’t matter

for comfy pants when I feel that way

for the cozy bed where I collapse or lay

for having the most amazing man

that still likes to hold my hand

for laughing until my belly aches

for having an oven so I can bake

for the dishwasher that continues to run

even though I’d like another one

for everything chocolate that’s ever been made

for every two weeks when we get paid

for a family that loves me when I’m weird

for almost nothing happening that I’ve feared

for a chaotic quiet house that relaxes me

for my daily afternoon cup of tea

for being her mom and being his wife

for knowing I have a very blessed life

Why I do what I do ~ I’ve made several attempts at helping the girls understand how Thanksgiving began. They would nod their heads in understanding and say something like, “I know, like Charlie Brown Thanksgiving right?” Ummm, no. “Like Winnie The Pooh Thanksgiving?” Not exactly. Finally, I had to settle for, “Like John Smith and Pocahontas, right?” Ok, why not. I think that’s as close as I’m going to get.Have you liked Domestic Cents on Facebook yet?
