It's Thanksgiving today and I have a bit of time to blog before the family comes. I thought that today I would write a list of things for which I'm thankful. Here it is:
1. I'm thankful for my wonderful husband. He' s been my very best friend for 30 years.
2. I'm thankful for my three children Dana (27), Petar (25)and Stefan (22) who amaze me everyday with their accomplishments and good heartedness.
3. I am thankful for the health of my family. Good health is both hard work and a blessing.
4. I am thankful that both my husband and I are working and have decent jobs. Many, many people in our area have been hit by closures of the automotive and other manufacturing plants and are not so fortunate.
5. I am thankful for my extended family - my children still have both sets of grandparents, several aunts, uncles, and cousins many of whom live close enough for visits.
6. I am thankful that I live in Canada. My apologies to our American neighbours but there are some truly scary things going on in your country. Clay Burell, one of the ed-bloggers I follow posted this on his blog the other day.
7. I am thankful for my friends. They 'get' me.
8. I am thankful for my colleagues. Their support is too valuable for words and they help make me look good everyday.
9. I am thankful for authors who write good books. I don't know how I would spend my summer vacations without you.
10. I am thankful for my running partner Andrea. We have been running together every week for the last 15 or 16 years. Some marriages don't last that long.
Well there you have it. It's nothing profound but a list of the things that have an effect on my life everyday.
For what are you thankful?

I'm thankful for the change of seasons. Each season has its serendipitous moments. Right now I'm looking at a flaming read maple that's just beginning to show its fire!
