Quite a lot actually! And here’s my chance to roll out my favorite blogging tool, the venerated and trusty list! So here’s (just a few of) the things I’m thankful for this year.
My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It really boggles my mind that God would choose to love and have a relationship with me, but I’m really amazed by this constantly. Definitely something that I try to be thankful for at all times, but Thanksgiving is a good occassion to be reminded of how good God is to me. Even when things aren’t so good.
My wonderful family! I love my entire family so much and I’m thankful that I have a close family, that I can share my hopes and dreams, as well as frustrations with. Thanks guys!
My beloved dogs, Dallas and Emma. These two rambunctious puppies keep me both stressed and sane at all times of the day. They’re my constant companions and truest friends.
Knitting. I would have never thought one year ago that something I had once considered a hobby for grandmothers would have changed my life so much. It’s so awesome to have an outlet for my creativity, frustrations and excitements. The process of knitting something from a skein of yarn still amazes me everytime.
The Online Commu-knitty. Ok that was bad, sorry. Anyway, I love you guys! Knitting for me wouldn’t have become what is has without the support and encouragement of my fellow bloggers. The same can also be said of my yarn dyeing. Without people to encourage me and help me, and the wonderful people who have given my yarns a home, I wouldn’t have ever ventured down the road of dyeing. Thanks guys (and gals)!
Now, just to spice things up a bit, and to be a sentimental pet owner, here’s the list of what Dallas and Emma are thankful for.
Both: That Dad promised to bring us some Turkey, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy home today! Yippee!
Dallas: Dad just bought us a bunch of new toys! Emma: Except Dallas won’t quit hogging them! Quit it Dallas, Dad says you have to share!
Dallas: That Dad hasn’t tried to knit us sweaters yet, thank goodness for that! Emma: Speak for yourself dork! I love to wear dog sweaters, since I’m always cold!
Both: That Dad lets us sleep in the bed with him, since that floor is not comfy. It’s so much nicer under the covers, even if Dad does get frustrated when we hog the bed.
Both: Did we mention we’re gonna have some turkey today???
“Commu-knitty” heh. Good one. And mya I say, I agree whole-heartedly with 4 & 5 (well, 1 and 2 as well and sub “Morris and Ripple” for “Dallas and Emma” and I’d agree with that one too. Heh.)
Happy Thanksgiving, Adam!
It’s good to see your dogs getting into the holiday spirit!
great list of thanks… but it must be hard to be upstaged by your own dogs. :) Hope you had a terrific thanksgiving! Happy Knitting!
