1. We had a very happy Thanksgiving this year. The food turned out really good, and everyone had a good time hanging out, talking, and eating. It was a lot of work, but it was well worth it all. And there were plenty of leftovers for everyone. 

2. After stressing myself out over the Thanksgiving meal, I had several days to recover and catch my breath again. I was very grateful for a long weekend, and for not having to go anywhere on Black Friday. 

3. Today was cool and rainy, and it felt like a perfect winter day. And we just got a great deal on a new furnace and air conditioner, so our house was full of warmth and peace of mind. It feels so good knowing that we will have energy efficient heat all winter long, with a humidifier to boot. So many things to be thankful for this year!
