Giving Thanks: A Pictorial Retrospective.

Now that an embarrassing sample of the population has plowed one another down at various and sundry big box stores for various and sundry crap, I wanted to take a look back at some things in my life for which I am especially thankful.

This is not an exhaustive list.  If you believe that you have been omitted from this list in error, and that I should, indeed, be thankful for you, I probably am.  If you're taking things that personally, I might suggest that you just stop reading my blog all together.

All of these pictures were either taken by me, Dada, or another friend or family member.   

I am thankful for friends.

I am thankful for family.

I am thankful for brothers {mostly} (haha, jk, jk).

I am thankful for this girl.

I am thankful for this guy.

I am thankful for all creatures great, small, and even those who track litter on the carpet in my bedroom.

Yep.

I am thankful for access to optimal health care.  

I am thankful for the lady in the pimp suit on the Trick-or-Treat Trail at Dutch Wonderland's Happy Hauntings who let me trade in my candy ticket for a Nutrageous.  

I am also thankful that I have several loyal readers who keep me wanting to document my life in The Grey.  Thank you, friends :)
