Thankful List

I am thankful for:

• the promise that “though the sorrow may last for the night, joy comes in the morning.”
• snowball fights with cotton balls.
• four-year-old boys who explain to you “we can’t make the sounds of the dinosaurs because the paleontologists don’t know what sounds they made.”
• two-year-old girls who remember your name after meeting them only once, and ask you every three minutes “Sarah, what are you doing?”
• that Hamilton is finally experiencing winter and there is snow everywhere!
• that Canada has done SO WELL at the Olympics.
• for the courage of Joannie Rochette.
• for good friends and family members.
• for awesome superintendants that catch your mail (important T4 slip) from your last apartment before it gets redirected!
• for Gymboree bubbles. They are the coolest things!
• for the policeman, CAA tow-truck man, and real-life Samaritan who took such good care of my mother when her car died on the bend of the Clairmont access.
• for Jesus. Sometimes you have to leave the best things for last!
