3. For my amazing kids and husband.

    I am thankful for my American friends to the south that got our back, buy our oil and provide me with the NFL. Enjoy your Thanksgiving long weekend, and I'll raise a slice of pumpkin pie in kindred salute!

    From your Canadian friends to the north.

    1. Being on this side of the grass. Bottom line.
    2. The love of my caree. Being a caregiver is hard. Her love makes it less hard.
    3. Caregiving.com, a wise and caring grassroots community that not only has helped save my sanity but through which I learned about MFP.
    4. MFP!
    5. My friends both online and in real life; and the social media that help keep us all connected.
    6. My clients, who help me support my household and who are also friends.
    7. The doctors and other professionals who have truly been in our corner.
    8. My good health, knock on wood!
    9. The natural world that I see just about every day, even if it's just from looking out my window.
    10. My camera, which helps me capture the beauty around me and that brings joy to both of us.
    11. The roof over our heads and the comforts of home.
    12. The car that transports us in our semi-rural community.
    13. In a world with so much hunger, the fact that I have enough food that I am working to lose weight.
    14. My life, with all its joys, sorrows, and challenges -- because it is mine.
