Day 21

Today I'm thankful for my mom. I'm thankful she was one of those 'mean' moms who made me polite, respectful and eat my green beans. (blech!)  I'm thankful to have a great mom!

Day 19

I'm thankful for my dishwasher. It ran three times yesterday!

Day 18

Today I'm thankful for my dad. He's always there when I need him, and I love him. Thanks for everything, Dad!

Day 10

Today I am thankful for being from NE Kansas. Most people laugh when they hear that, but those that laugh don't truly know what Kansas is like. All they know is the way the state and its inhabitants are protrayed on television (hello Criminal Minds!).  Northeast Kansas is beautiful, with lots of trees and hills and it is so incredibly green that whenever I go back, I am amazed by the absolute greenness of the place.

I love Kansas. I love that whenever I think of home, I think of the tiny town where I grew up, where I walked to my grandma's house after school, where on Halloween I roamed around with a pillowcase to collect candy.

I miss it, and it will always be home, no matter where I live.

30 Days of Thanks

My family doesn't know it yet, but for the month of November we will be giving thanks for something everyday.  I plan on making a poster or book of somekind for this. (yeah, yeah, should have it already done, but whatever)

It seems like Thanksgiving is overlooked nowadays. I mean, Halloween decorations show up in August. August, people! That is ridiculous.  And anymore, Thanksgiving is sort of forgotten, with all the Christmas frenzy that starts this month. Who really slows down and considers all we've been given? 

So anyway, that's the plan. Since I'm also participating in NaNoWriMo this month, it will be interesting, to say the least.

Look for a post later today or tonight (tomorrow?) about Day 1 of 30 Days of Thanksgiving.
