Thank You Dishwasher
Thank you dishwasher for your availability to hold clean dishes forever while the entire family partakes in a standoff as to who will unload you. Your patience is something I strive to have more of.
Thank You Generation Z
Thank you Generation Z for your one-word answers to all questions. Because of your efficiency with words like “ight,” “bruh,” “fire,” and “sus,” I exchange my understanding of you for free time to think about how old I am.
Thank You Alarm Clock Settings
Thank you alarm clock setting on my phone for always being faithful to scare me into action at the proper time. Without you my daughter would never be picked up from school, my presence would never be enjoyed at meetings, the trash would never be taken to the road, and I would never leave on time for church.
Thank You Car Mirror
Thank you car mirror for working with the daylight so well to showcase all the wild hairs growing in places they shouldn’t. Because of you, I acknowledge my imperfections.
Thank You Yoga Pants
Thank you yoga pants for coming into fashion. Although I’ve never partaken in your name’s sake, your elastic and side pockets have become my best friends.
Thank You Coffee
Thank you coffee for being the best part of waking up even though there’s no Folger’s in my cup. Despite always making you at my house, your silky hot goodness smothered in caffeine makes me feel as though I’m in all those coffee shops from those Hallmark and Lifetime movies.
Thank You Thanksgiving
Thank you Thanksgiving for allowing me to mortgage my house in order to buy groceries for you and for giving me two days of solid cooking preparation, only to devour your food in 30 minutes. Your meal makes me realize how OK I am with serving hot dogs and sandwiches the rest of the year.
Thank You House
Thank you house for your low popcorn ceilings and tiny doors that help me realize just how skinny and short everyone was in the 1980s. Your nostalgia keeps me humble and grounded as I remember the good ol’ days.
Thank You Reader
Thank you blog readers for your time and attention as I publicly work through "therapy" with every post. Your patience with me as I process this crazy life is so appreciated.
Know Better. Do Better. Live Better. Be Thankful.
Rocks before Sand!
