I’m thankful for the simple things in life, like food, fun, and freedom. I'm often happiest when I'm sitting outside watching the sun set over the cane field or reading a good book. Today, I'm just grateful it’s Thursday. Here are my top three reasons:
Reason #1: Today is Thanksgiving
Dinner in the school cafeteria, and I’ve been looking forward to it all week.
Maybe that seems silly to you, but this is Louisiana, and our school cafeteria
makes the best Thanksgiving dinner, complete with rice dressing and sweet
potatoes, which are some of my favorite things.
Reason #2: Thursday means Vampire
Diaries. I don’t watch much tv, and I never would have fallen in love with this show if not
for my friend Leslie. She practically bullied me into watching it a couple of summers ago by inviting
me over and cooking me yummy food, which guarantees I will stay a
while. She had DVR’d them, and we watched all the episodes. I was hooked. So I’m
grateful for Leslie too, for introducing me to Damon. (And aren't you grateful I posted that pic?)
Reason #3: Thursday means I only
have one more day until I'm off for an entire week for Thanksgiving vacation.
And I need a vacation. I love my job, not only because I get to teach great
kids, but because it ensures I will truly appreciate holidays and days off.
Sometimes it’s the little things.
