Thankful Thursday

It's that time again. Actually, it's nice to stop & reflect and spend some time really thinking about those things for which I'm grateful. It makes me appreciate them all the more. So, in no particular order, here are things I'm thankful for this week:

  • Electricity -- it's one of those "you don't miss it til it's gone" things. Yesterday's downpour knocked out my power (and hundreds of thousands of other homes/business in the area). It was out when I got home and was still out when I left for work this morning.

  • Dance classes -- or I should say *good* dance classes. Being able to work with world-class master instructors/dancers has gotten me re-energized about dancing again.

  • Seeing old friends -- it's been great catching up.

  • Speaking enough Swedish to be able to communicate with my friends' almost-4-year-old daughter. (The 15-month old doesn't speak any language yet, so it isn't as important with him quite yet.)

  • Ben Gay -- after 9 hours of master dance classes in 2 days, including lifts, I was sore! I found an old tube of the stuff I'd forgotten about in my medicine cabinet. It felt soooo good when that stuff kicked in!!

  • Good friends who are there for me when I need them -- you know who you are. Thanks!

  • Chocolate -- 'nuff said.

So, how about you? What things are you thankful for? I stole the idea and the graphic from Tiburon at SharkBait. Feel free to take them from me and play along.
