Thankful For :: 981 - 990

I've never missed a week of Thankfulness since I first started this list on August 20, 2010. I haven't stopped for Christmas or vacations, and I've even come through with lists while sick in bed. In a way, I'm like the Post Office of Thankfulness - neither rain nor sleet, etc. Now I'm only ten away from 1,000 items of thankfulness, and here I am, writing this post to inform you that I won't be here next Friday. That's all I'm going to say for now, so if you want to know more, you'll have to come back on Monday. How's that for a teaser?!

This week I'm thankful for...

981. Knowing that this world is not my Home - a comfort in the face of political chaos

982. America - the "great experiment of democracy" - and the freedoms we have enjoyed to this point

983. The opportunity to see old friends (which actually happened last week, but missed the list)

984. New cookbooks (this time - Indian meals and 5 Minute Bread)

985. Shish kabobs from Fresh Market

986. Lunch dates with my Mom

987. Shopping dates with my sisters

988. Productive phone meetings for work

989. Time in the early morning to be still, and know that He is God

990. Future plans

Come back on Monday to see what it's all about!

Until then, what are YOU thankful for?
