Gratitude

With Thanksgiving being a week away, I wanted to take some time out of my EXTREMELY busy schedule to ponder about some things I'm grateful for.

I really didn't need to think very long to realize that I have many things to be thankful for. But I'm not much for clichés, and some things, such as family, friends, food, clothes etc, are too obvious. (I'm not saying they're not important to mention, just simply too obvious.)

So I had to think a little harder to come up with something that maybe I don't realize I'm grateful for and take completely for granted. Quite a challenge.... I'm still thinking.....

Got one! I'm thankful for contact lenses. I am blind without them and would be a circus freak with glasses! It's nice not to have to sit face to face with the TV and also not to have to glue my eye balls to a book while reading. It's a relief to be able to recognize my own children when they come running towards me, it's comforting to be able to see the road when driving and it's of course reassuring to be able to see my eye lashes when putting on mascara.

I'll try to think of another not so obvious thing tomorrow. Too much thinking for one day already.

Later!
