Levi and his classmates line up for the jog-a-thon.

The thought occurred to me today that, now six days before Thanksgiving, I should theme the next few days of writing. Each day, I should consider something I am thankful for. Now, that I am home, considering writing, I thought since there are six days left, perhaps I could do a count down. What six things am I thankful for today, and tomorrow five, and so on.

So, today, the six things I am thankful for in no particular order:

1. A school for my son that is a community,
2. A boss who expresses gratitude each day,
3. A husband who surprises me with his silly sense of humor,
4. A possible change in neighborhood,
5. A considerate son who expresses his love and need for me daily, and
6. A commute that, into work, is less than twenty minutes.

What are you thankful for?
