Big Things and Little Things

Every year around Thanksgiving, I could probably make much the same list of things that I'm thankful for. The repeat doesn't mean it's any less sincere, but this year I wanted to note the little things as well as the big things I'm grateful to have.

So: Big Things and Little Things

• my family, spread out geographically but close to each other at heart
• angel salad
• health, relatively speaking, my own and that of those I love
• my digital camera
• good friends, to talk with and laugh with and be with
• Lake Champlain caramel-filled chocolates
• a job, even a temporary one, that helps pay the bills
• my short-and-sweet commute this morning
• Carlos, a very good cat
• the act of knitting, lovely yarn, snuggly hand-knits
• food, and not just enough to live on
• the Bruins
• driving to work again (this should be Little, but really it feels Big)
• eggnog
• books
• getting out of work early for the holiday
• the internet, blogging, and blog-friends

What about you? Big thing, little thing?

Happy Thanksgiving (or, you know, happy random Thursday in November, if you're not American).

P.S. I would also have been grateful if Blogger had deigned to format this list the way I wanted it to be, but I managed, in the spirit of the season, not to get all bent out of shape about it, or to spend way too much time trying to get it right. Still, no-thanks to you, Blogger.
