Happy Thanksgiving!

(Or "Pugsgiving" if you're so inclined.)



I just really like that line of poetry by Rita Dove from her poem "Testimonial." Fortunately, I know the names of some of my blessings. Here they are:

♥My awesome family. ♥Bixby. ♥Friends: Bethany, Ryan, Meagan, Elizabeth, Sean, Athia, Anna, Francesco, Schuyler, Brian, Christine, Cody/Aubri/Audi and all the "B's," and everyone else who's been there to chat, listen, and make me smile. ♥ MY HOUSE. It's amazing how you can take things like running water, working appliances (MICROWAVE FTW), and a table to eat at for granted. ♥ My bedroom, and on that note, my dream bedding, which I now own. ♥ Tuberose. ♥ The Beatles. ♥ Fun soaps. ♥ Imagination. ♥ Strawberries. ♥ Imagination. ♥ Books and reading in general (special mention to Arthur Conan Doilies who, even though I have a love/hate relationship with, did in fact create Sherlock Holmes). ♥ Music. ♥ Singing. ♥ Fluffy pillows and cozy blankets. ♥ Purses! ♥ Perfume. ♥ The color black. ♥ Sherman. ♥ Animals in general. Clearly they're a good idea since God made them first. ♥ The ocean. ♥ Living in Florida, where there's no snow, no rusty cars, and the beach is 45 minutes away at all times. ♥ Cuppycakes. ♥ Shopping. ♥ The internets. ♥ The readers of my blog. ♥ Sparkly things. ♥ Being a girl in general. ♥ Joan Jett. ♥ Dancing. ♥ Vanilla milkshakes. ♥ Intelligence. ♥ Self-worth. ♥ Inspiration. ♥ Love. ♥




Also, if you're participating in Black Friday, BE SAFE (physically, financially...emotionally?)! I always kind of picture it like this:


And no, even though shopping is probably my all-time favorite thing to do, I don't and won't be going out tomorrow. Let me know how it is!


Mostly, I hope you all have a wonderful, beautiful Thanksgiving and are able to enjoy good food and the company of people you love. :)
