Giving Thanks For The Unusual

It's tradition in many homes to gives thanks for the obvious on Thanksgiving. Your home, your health, your delicious dinner, and so on.

I too am thankful for all of those things, but I have a short list of other things that I am really thankful for, for various reasons. I'd like to share them, so in no particular order here they are:


1. Antacids. Heartburn is a constant friend of mine.

2. Police Academy Movies. (Except for the 6th one.) Whenever I need a laugh, all I have to do is think of one line from any of the first five movies and I can go on with my day. "What kind of clown do you think I am? A juggling clown?" Say no more.

3. Judy in accounting. Where, oh where, would I be without Judy? Probably in the unemployment line.

4. My Ped Egg. Without a doubt, one of man's best inventions since the telephone.

5. Hand Sanitizer Wipes by the carts at Wal-Mart. Oh, Wal-Mart! You think of everything!

6. Nachos. Because I have antacids.

7. The Internet. I don't know how we ever lived without it!

8. Ina Garten. Ina is undoubtedly one of the coolest people on the planet.

9. Stop signs. Need I explain?

10. Calculators. I could never do all that math on a piece of paper.

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving full of graditude for the little things that often go unthanked!
