Are turkeys thankful for cranberries

So a lot of times on Thanksgiving we get together and say just how thankful we are for everything God has given us. Normally I say the usual such as, family, friends, provisions, etc.

But just to be random I’m going to say 15 things I really am grateful for but don’t have time to say at the table. Ready? Okay, here we go…

I am thankful for:
1. Toothbrushes and their accomplice. Without them, we can’t really get our teeth too clean.
2. Doors and curtains. Without them how could we have privacy?
3. Gravity—enough said.
4. Pepto Bismal—when you have nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach and diarrhea.
5. Fingerprints—without ‘em I couldn’t grip a thing.
6. Letters—the doorway to communication.
7. Germany—research just what an impact they have made, historically speaking, on America and the nations of the world.
8. Atoms and molecules and diffusion.
9. Chap stick, chapped lips and things like chemistry…
10. Those gray squiggles in my brain…
11. Gravel
12. Vinyl
13. Saws and hammers
14. Eyelashes
15. Oranges--because of them, I have never gotten scurvy and life has been SO citrusy!

I’m sure there is more but I’m too lazy to think of any more. Well, kiddies, happy thanksgiving! Be blessed and don’t eat too much.

Sincerely,
~Rose
