Which side of the turkey has the most feathers?

The outside.

Duh!

Bwahahahaha!

I feel the need to do a short ‘What I am thankful for’ post. It’s early but we’re going to be gone and this will probably be my last post before next week. In fact, I asked a question over on the Domestic Servitude blog that you should go and help me with. *nods*

In no particular order, I am thankful for:

I have love in my life. Lots and lots of love. I have lots of people to love, and lots of people who love me in return.
My husband. My best friend, my partner, my lover, my owner.
Our health. Mentally, physically, spiritually.
Joy. Our house is a happy home.
My children. They are good kids and I’m so proud to be their mother. I love them all so much.
My granddaughter. She’s beautiful. Her presence has revealed to me a sense of family, of continuation, of love and connection that I had no idea existed. I’m thankful to have been given the opportunity to so intimately observe my daughter grow into motherhood and to participate in that growth.
I’m thankful that Master understands my need to go home this holiday season. As soon as I said that my mom is not well, he made it happen without a second thought.
I’m thankful that my mom’s health, fragile as it is, is allowing for at least one more Thanksgiving. I can only hope and pray for more.
Finances. Knowing so many who are struggling to stay afloat in this economy makes me incredibly grateful that Master’s job is stable and secure. We can afford to celebrate, and I’m so thankful for that.
I have a home. A beautiful, spacious, warm, comfortable home, with all of the comforts and conveniences of such.
Food. In a world where so many do, nobody in this house ever goes to bed hungry.
Living my dreams. There is nothing unfulfilled, nothing hidden, nothing unrealized. I can have it all, it’s all right here.
Honesty and openness. I can, and do, share everything with him, and I’m free from judgement.
Laughter, whether in bed late at night or with my kids, I’m grateful to have someone to laugh with.
It hasn’t snowed yet. I’m SO thankful!
Good books. Especially good books that are accompanied by a warm blanket, a comfortable chair, a cup of coffee and a man who lets me disappear into it for hours at a time.
Sex. I’m thankful for sex. Not just any sex, good sex.
Friends. I have some!
My cats. I love my cats. Especially when they just hop up and plant themselves in your face, so confident that you love them and that you’re, of course, delighted to have their attention. I can’t help but admire anything that sure of spirit!
Chocolate. That one is self-explanatory!
The internet, for connecting me with friends I’d have otherwise never met.
