Black Friday

Since I raced yesterday, it's a rest day for me. (Except for the 10 hour shift I'm scheduled to work...bring on the money!) I also will not be partaking in any "Black Friday" sales. My Christmas Gift Goal this year is to buy from local stores, independently owned online businesses, or make it. Not going to find that at Walmart. (Except maybe the stuff to make the stuff...does that still count as buying it at Walmart if the pieces came from there? Am I over-thinking this?)

Instead, here's a list of all the things I'm thankful for this year:
1. My husband -- I don't know what I would do without him.
2. My health -- I am happy and healthy and fit. When I see people who aren't, I want to shake them and say, "Life can be better! You have to want it!"
3. My jobs -- Sometimes they are annoying and horrible and I don't always want to go. But I have two part-time jobs, my husband has a more than full-time job, and we can pay the bills, and buy the food we want and the things we need without much thought. That's a lot more than a lot of people.
4. My family -- They love me even though they think I'm crazy...and because they have to.
5. My dogs -- I don't have kids. I have 3 dogs. They are my children. I love them.
6. My friends -- They are always there for me with inspiration, support, advice, a funny story, an ear to listen to my problems, a shoulder to cry on...basically, they are awesome.
