You gotta love Thanksgiving!

22 November 2007

There are many things to love about Thanksgiving. It’s a holiday whose whole point is to be grateful for the wonderful things in our life. It’s a holiday celebrated by cooking and eating wonderful, comforting food. It’s a holiday in which most of us spend time with family and/or friends. And it’s a universally American holiday. Virtually all Americans celebrate it. So you can say “Happy Thanksgiving!” to anyone and not worry that you’re being insensitive.

I know most bloggers are blogging about what they’re thankful for today. I’d like to be different. But I really can’t resist making a short list of some of the things I’m grateful for:

• My wonderful, supportive family (husband, parents, brothers, four-legged family members)

• My incredible friends

• My knitting group

• My good health and great genes that allow me to stay healthy with minimal effort

• My terrific clients whose trust I’m so honored by and who teach me so much

• My colleagues who share so much with me

• My professional organizations (NAPO, NSGCD, the Garden Writers Association) that offer me so much education, excitement, collegiality and, yes, friendship

• The Internets

• My iPod. And podcasts

• My DVR. God, I love that machine.

2007 has been an amazing year for me. I have no reason to believe that 2008 won’t be even better.
