Top Ten Thursday

(Yes, I know this is typically supposed to be "Top Ten Tuesday." But when have I ever been determined to follow the pack?)

Ten Things I'm Thankful For

10. Cool evenings when you can sleep under a blanket with the windows wide open.
9. Carrots and peppers and tomatoes and basil growing in the garden.
8. Goldfinches in the bird feeder.
7. Hot chocolate, a good book, and a comfy chair on a lazy Saturday afternoon.
6. Legos and coloring books.
5. Clear starry nights when you can see the Orion Nebula and the Milky Way.
4. A growing church community with "Biblical Christianity, Anglican Worship."
3. Our cat, though thoroughly wicked, who will curl up next to me and purr when I'm in a funk.
2. Friends and relations, both near and far.
1. The philosopher. "For better or for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, as long as we both shall live." 15 years on May 22. Wow.
