Issaquah Undressed

It’s Not About Turkey

I saw a newpaper headline the other day touting this fact “Shops Open on Turkey Day.” You all know it is about THANKSGIVING, not turkey. Evidently the shops that are open don’t. They see it as another big shopping day. I feel sorry for their employees who have to work that day, but of course I am sure they are very thankful to have a job.

I decided to make a list of everything I’m thankful for. If you have a list and want to share it, click on comments and send me yours. Some people who have been the worst victims of our economic downturn seem to be the most thankful. Could it be that adversity does make us stronger and MORE thankful?

I decided to add to this list everyday because I keep thinking of things to be thankful for, let me think:

I am thankful for family, friends, husband, Mom’s mincemeat pie, sunshine, rain, bagels, electicity, fireplaces, gas logs, salt, curry, sunsets, my church, Issaquah, Seattle Times cartoons, internet, a comfy bed, down comforter, pillows, good parents, curling irons, orchids, temples, Christmas decorations, Christmas, children, step children, grandchildren, art, health, cats, vitamins, a warm winter coat, my new computer, color printer, real estate picking up, integrity of folks, forever stamps, flip camera, kindness, eyesight, cell phones, exercise, interior design, weddings, bathtubs, auto, spring, summer, fall, even winter, I am still alive, doctors, dentists, sound mind?, elevators, garages, books, US citizenship, cheeses, crabcakes, gourmet granola, houses, Cougar Mountain Zoo, tiger cubs, ……………………to be continued. These are not neccessarily in the order of importance!
