Clearly the major reasons I am thankful include my fabulous husband, four awesome grown children, and the world's cutest grandson, not to mention other friends and family and a multitude of other blessings. With that in mind, and given that tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day, I am happy to present a partial list of the other things I am thankful for this year:
- Contact lenses - having worn glasses for some 35+ years, I followed the lead of my middle son about six years ago and got fitted for my first pair of disposable soft contacts. I was amazed by the difference, and now I wonder why I waited so long to make this change. Who would have thought that such a tiny piece of soft plastic could totally transform my view of the world around me?
- Cell phones - at one time I firmly insisted that there was no way I would ever carry a phone around with me. After all, sometimes the reason I was leaving the house was to get away from the phone! Now that has changed, to the point where I wonder how we ever managed without cell phones. I love that since each of my four grown kids has a cell, they are more likely to call me on my cell than they would if I only had the landline phone (thanks, Cingular, for free mobile-to-mobile minutes!).
- The online catalog for my local public library. It's awesome to sit down at the computer, browse through the Barnes and Noble website, and then request books from the library rather than spending lots of money I don't have to buy them. It's also very convenient since I can do it on my own schedule instead of having to adapt to the library's operating hours. Now if they just offered free home delivery when the books come in........
- Chocolate (self explanatory, of course!)
