Earlier today I was asked what I was thankful for - and since I've been grumping and grousing about the inconvenience of having my computer in the repair shop AGAIN, it was a good exercise to just stop and think about the many reasons I have to give thanks.
Family - A husband who has put up with me for most of our adult lives, and will even cook dinner on occasion.
Two smart, handsome, and loving sons - who actually love each other as well as us. A daughter-in-law and an adorable grand daughter.
Friends - a handful of people whose company I treasure - and another handful of internet friends who enrich my life, each in his or her own way.
My furry, 4-legged friends - companionship, protection (no one gets near this house without me knowing it!) loyalty, love, and entertainment all rolled up in 5 bundles of fur.
Good health - a treasure in itself.
Work - doing something I truly enjoy, and being glad to sit down to work each day.
My home - a wonderful house built by my contractor husband, at the edge of a meadow where I can look across and see the mountain and trees - and occasionally spot wildlife passing through.
And Active Rain. When I joined here I felt a little out of place, because I'm not a real estate agent. I'm a copywriter who helps agents promote themselves, but I wasn't sure I really belonged. Still, I stayed because I do enjoy reading all the posts, and knowing the issues and challenges you face helps me to do a better job for my clients.
I shouldn't have worried. Everyone here has made me feel welcome, and I thank you all for that!
Now... if I just had my real computer, with real programs, I'd give you a picture of one of those list items... but oh well. Maybe next week I'll be able to say I'm thankful to have my computer back.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Marte
