I'll just come out and say it, I've really fallen behind on my monthly 'Gratitude Campaign' posts. I've been feeling guilty and decided that the impending Thanksgiving in the US would be the perfect opportunity to make up for my negligence.
My first offering is a simple thanks for reading this little blog. Being self-employed and often working from home, I really take comfort and delight in the connections I make via blogging and tweeting. I have a healthy group of people that I count as friends made through these avenues. So... thank you for taking the time to read and connect with me on some level, it really means more than I can express.
Now, getting to the goody giveaway part of the post!
The mister and I have a tradition of writing down what we're thankful for each and every Thanksgiving, it's something that I really enjoy reflecting on and thought it would be the perfect question to pose for entry.

I am thankful for my two sweet, polite, nice little girls; for my husband who cooks us dinner every night and is constantly teaching my girls new things (math, science, music, games, etc.). I'm thankful for having a fun, well-behaved dog (new to us this year) who brings us all much joy. I am thankful for friends, family, and community.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm grateful for you, too, Carina - for writing nice and funny comments on my blogs. All of those comments encourage me to keep writing, and I really appreciate that so much.
Happy Thanksgiving!

ReplyDeleteI am thankful that as I start my own family, my existing one has been gracious enough to understand my compromises that need to be made around the holiday season. At least, if they're upset, they're not letting me see it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

I'm thankful every day to have met the love of my life the very first day of college! 23 years later, we're as happy as can be and grateful for the life we've created for ourselves, which include wonderful friends, dear family, and of course our pups and kitties!
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful for good friends, the opportunity to live in a beautiful place, my sweet family, coffee, chocolate, and the warm glow of my fireplace. :)
ReplyDeleteI am very thankful for good friends, online and offline; having outlets of stationery design and roller derby; a supportive-in-heir-own-way kind of family; and lastly my crazy crazy pets.
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful for my children, family, and friends. I am so grateful for the community we have built as a support system when our own family lives so far away.

I'm thankful for my amazing(ly hilarious) family, the most supportive friends a girl could ask for, a pug who likes to cuddle, and for hot mugs of chai on cold winter days.
