I’d like to take this moment share what I’m thankful for in my life. I think we’re all thankful for family and friends but I’d like to take that a bit further. Please note, this is in no specific order.
- I’m thankful that I have friends I can call at any time, day or night, and they’ll listen to me.
- I’m thankful I have a sister who is among those people I think of as my special friends.
- I’m thankful I have a husband who lets me be myself and celebrates that person.
- I’m thankful I lost my job this year. It’s allowing me to become a better metalsmith (I hope).
- I’m thankful I have enough money to pay my bills despite the job loss. I haven’t missed the money even though I thought I had to have it.
- I’m thankful I have a sense of humor. Believe me, it’s sometimes more important than intelligence!
- I’m thankful Steve got a new job this year. He’s so much happier and feels more challenged.
- I’m thankful for my hands. They allow me to make jewelry which makes me happy.
- I’m thankful for my nieces. They are so cute and funny.
- I’m thankful for my neighbors. Eric, Julie and Eva are great to have next door, Mick and Carrie are a fun addition to the neighborhood, and Paul’s a great coffee buddy during the week.
- I’m thankful I have so many friends that I sometimes get overwhelmed with obligations and invitations.
- I’m thankful people actually read this blog and comment!
I’m sure I could list many more, but I have a cake to bake, a pie to check on and a shower to take. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Mick and I are thankful for you too! You have been so welcoming that it made the whole transition much easier. Thank you Tammy and Steve for being such great neighbors and friends!
(Ditto that for Paul and the Zackrisons!)
