Kid and Caboodle

Despite a number of aggravating events that happened today that I won’t detail, there are a number of things for which I am thankful this Thursday:

• I am thankful I didn’t have to go out in the cold most of the day since I worked from home.
• I am thankful for the opportunity to do some professional writing every week even though I frequently wrestle with writer’s block/self-censorship.
• I am thankful for the abundant food supply I have in the house. (I think I enjoyed too much of it today!)
• I am thankful I know a good handyman who can fix anything from stuck drawers to clogged gutters to leaky roofs. He’ll be coming over tomorrow to fix the gutters that broke during our recent snowstorm.
• I am thankful for good friends, old and new. I intend to get together with several of them in a few weeks.
• I am thankful the weekend is almost here!
