Taking a moment to be thankful:
I’m thankful for…
- Waking up this morning to a beautiful, sunny, crisp morning in Vancouver. This city is so incredible!
- The warm, delicious (non-starbucks) mocha in my hand, and especially for those four shots of espresso in it.
- A remarkably sweet, and thoughtful boyfriend who doesn’t mind when I drool on his chest.
- A career that I love. Creating campaigns and designing media, while making someone else’s business life more profitable by doing so, is so damned rewarding.
- My family, which just like every other family has it’s bumps in the road, are all ultimately the most important part of my life. I adore spending time with them.
- Good friends who understand when my life sometimes takes over and I don’t call for weeks. I know they understand, and that when we do share time together, it’s like it was only yesterday that we were laughing or sharing a drink.
- Chocolate. ‘Nuff said there!
- My health. Even when I have yucky days, I know that I’m incredibly lucky to be healthy and able to enjoy my life without worry.
- The fact that the weekend has almost arrived. Because, I really need it.
- Music, because it augments and enhances my most amazing emotions.

Oh man, shouldn’t we all love our career! Lucky you!
I’m sad that I’ve only driven through Vancouver on the way to Whistler.
Michele sent me!
How cool is this! Love this post NC! I’m thankful that we are “virtually” friends!…. And of course, I’m also thankful for CHOCOLATE!
btw — we should do coffee or something soon. Now that I’m blissfully unemployed (or at least, will be in 7 hours) I have all this free time to reconnect with people!
I’m thankful for giddy, slobbery dogs and an overly affectionate cat who are always thrilled to see me and put me in a happy mood regardless of what else is going on in my day.
I’m also thankful that I haven’t burnt a lot of bridges in my day – you never know who from your past is going to unexpectedly give you a call with an offer…;)
I’m thankful that I recently scored my 2000m PB ever but then had the common sense to get lazy until all the real work starts next week!
I am thankful for:
- my health
- the opportunity to do the job I enjoy, even if I’m not adequately paid for said job.
- sushi
- nice weather days. It makes my job more enjoyable and less unpleasant
- good friends… even if they don’t ever call me just to say hi (hint, hint)
- being Canadian
oh yeah – and i’m also thankful for the hyatt’s chocolate cake – the leftovers from last night which i am eating now…
OH GOD YA! Mosaic’s chocolate cake is the best-kept Vancouver secret. I still have left-overs from our last trip in the freezer. Deeeeelish!
I’m thankful for my bf, my doggie, my family, friends, and my health. I’m also thankful of the choices I’ve made and how things have really turned out wonderfully for the most part.
Donna… Abso-freekin’-lutely! Drop me a line and let me know when you are available next week, and we’ll make it happen!
YAY! Lara got a GRAVATAR! (cute, darlin’!)
Rog, you are an inspiration, following your dream… And, yes, dear… I’ll call. I’m sorry… Ask around, you are far from the only one I’ve neglected lately. I’m feeling terrible about that.
I’m thankful for:
1. A wonderful fiance who loves me regardless of all my flaws.
2. Awesome friends who love me regardless of all my flaws.
3. The ability and freedom to make choices.
4. Calli the Kitty.
I am thankful for Michele, who sent me over here today to see your wonderful blog!
I’m thankful for my children who provide a lot of entertainment
For my cat who snuggles up at night and lets me know that he’s not totally worthless
For a winter that has been relatively mild with little snow
For the flowers that a friend brought me today
Right now I’m thankful for peanut M&Ms, without which I would be making and eating an entire cake…
-thankful for sushi, yes i know rog said that too but i swear i am thankful for it, really, yes, and with cold japanese beer. I read his post and now I am hungry.
-thankful i have an employer who took a chance on my neophyte skills and gives me a paycheck to buy sushi and japanese beer.
-thankful for my new canadian friends, and thankful for my american friends who still care to email me jokes and links they know I’d like even though i’m 1,000 miles away
-thankful my friends, who are all Einstein smart, arent afraid to give me tough-love advice, even if i dont wanna hear it.
-thankful they stay my friends even after I ignore their advice and learn the hard way.
-thankful i dont look like Ernest Borgine.
-thankful that even with my horrible my math skills, I can at least fall back on my art *cough* talent
-thankful i got to mosh at a punk rock show just before i was too old to get away with it
-thankful I get to sleep in tomorrow. Its practically a religious experience
-thankful i have a gorgeous, funny, smart, best-kisser-in-the-world girlfriend who likes to fall asleep on my chest, even though she occassionaly drools
I am thankful for talented web mistresses that do such a great job for me and make my business life more profitable. Luvya tanners.
It’s wonderful to count our blessings every single day… we are blessed!
(And I’m thankful for the non-starbucks anything!)
