List # 111: Happy Thanksgiving

Because it's Thanksgiving 2011. It's the start of the holiday I've been dreading, but lately feel it might not be as somber as I originally thought. And because there is a lot of thanks to give.

The Serious:

• Health. Because without it we can't live the life we have or reach for the one we want
• Family. They may annoy me, but are some of my biggest cheerleader's in life.
• Friends. I always knew I had some pretty kick-ass friends, but 2011 taught me that I have friends who will always look out for me and treat me like family.
• Professional Growth. I know I'm one of the lucky few who truly enjoy going to work every day. My work is my passion and I'm thankful that I can continue to challenge myself and grow.
• New Adventures. Just the nervous excitement of something new is enough give thanks.

The Not-So-Serious:

• Books. For giving me a world of escape and entertainment, more so than anything else since I was about 3 years old.
• Cardigans. The librarian style of choice for years.
• Lip stick. Because wearing lipsticks makes me feel sexy no matter what else I have on.
• Slipper Socks. I'm not looking foward to months of cold, but I am looking forward to comfy goodness on my feet.
• Hot Baths. And a good book? There is nothing else that makes me feel right.
• Jon Stewart. The funny, hot guy who can always make me laugh.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I can only hope that you and yours have a happy day of over-eating and family.  Tell us, what are you thankful for this year?
