Thankful for...

I want to list a few things I am thankful for.
ok. A few more than a few. Sometimes when I am down it helps me remember just how many thing that are out there to be thankful for!

I'm thankful for:

Take-offs and landings.
Turning passanger's frown's upside down! ;-)
Floating in really warm water.
Drinking hot chocolate.
Warm nights in Portland - with a little moisture in the air.
Spinning on the beach.
Cuddling with cats or dogs.
Hiking thru small town's in Europe.
Visiting somewhere I've never been before.
Hearing people speak French.
Movies that make me cry.
Movies that make me laugh.
Looking at old pictures.
Pink. (The color not the "Artist")

Windows in trains.
Guys with English, Scottish, Irish, South African and Aussie accents.

Teresa... what a great list. I definitely agree with most of it... especially movies that make me cry (or laugh), guys with accents, small towns in Europe, meeting new people & hearing their stories... well... and of course kissing & chocolate & my nieces...

I hope to see you soon.

I'm thankful that I made it onto your list, T!
Also, I'm thankful for my dogs and books. Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.

Teresa, I love this list... Every time I start writing an "I'm thankful for..." list it just goes on and on. I think we should do this regularly because it makes the other stuff seem less stressful.

P.S. I'm thankful for you!
