I think about what I'm grateful for every day -- and it always starts in the morning.
Small things, you know? There are big things I'm grateful for: my family, friends, good health, a roof over my head and food on the table. I'm grateful to have a job I love.
I wish you all a lovely Thanksgiving, and a wonderful holiday season!

Yesterday, for example. Just before dawn, I could observe from my bed an army of squirrels racing to the tops of trees, silhouetted against the dark sky -- and I thought, "Wow, what a fun thing to wake up to." And then the sun rose, and that was beautiful; and the air tasted clean outside when I took the poodle for a walk; and breakfast was good, and the house was flooded with morning light.

But it's the little moments that are just as special, and they're everywhere, all the time. It's good to be alive. Every day is worth being grateful for.

Hi Marjorie!
Every day is a blessing, and you're right about the small things! Have a great turkey day!
Sounds like you have some lovely mornings, and a full life!
So, what am I grateful for.
Friends--online and offline, family, good health, a job I love.
Living in the beautiful PNW-- although there are many great places to live in the U.S.--with the richness & variety of nature that is here: mountains, lakes, beaches.
Cultural things: books, movies, music, art. Great authors [:-))]
Wishing you a lovely Thanksgiving too, and very Happy Holiday season!
And as always, looking forward to more of your fabulous books.
I am most grateful for my loving husband and family, my sweet kitties, my health and my friends.
I am most thankful for my family--which includes two beautiful, healthy grandchildren--my friends and my church community. Happy Thanksgiving, all.
Hi Marjorie. Of course I'm grateful in this economy to have a roof over my head, and for good health for those close, but I agree with you, it's those small things and joys that help us keep on going along. Happy Thanksgiving!
I think in these days of bad news, we forget about the little things that we should be thankful for and not take for granted.
I know I am very thankful for my family. A wonderful husband, eleven wonderful, healthy kids, our own good health, a job, and even though we are not so well off, I see little miracles every day.

I'm so fortunate - I have enough to eat and a place to live. I have my wonderful DH of 20 years by my side and we both are healthy. Life's pretty good...
That was lovely and very, very true :-)
I'm grateful for the safe return of my boyfriend from Pakistan. He arrived in the states today. I won't be able to see him for a few days b/c of his debriefing. (He's a US Marshall) I'm also grateful for all of my family members being healthy.
I have to agree. This morning I noticed that there is this little rose starting to bloom even though it's been so cold. Happy Thanksgiving.
