Giving Thanks.

I am thankful that my cats allow me to live with them and share their furniture.  I am so very lucky that I can act as a launching pad, scratching post, and accepter of their offerings of mouse parts.

I am so thankful that Scrappy continues to forgive me for not feeding him treats 24/7.  I am thankful that he leaves his toys and chewed marrow bones scattered about in strategic places, which allows me the opportunity to practice my balancing act.

I am thankful that I have created such a firm bond with the Guineas that they wait outside on various high roosts until I arrive home in the pitch dark to try to guide them into the safety of the coop.

I am very thankful that the chickens have taken such a long break in laying eggs that I don't have to worry about collecting them, or gathering enough to pay for their upkeep.

I am thankful for my sense of humor - which is sometimes all I have left by the end of the week.

Sylvie said...

You are funny.....I fear it is not thankfulness for my beloved cat that I have as he walks on my head at 5 AM....but murderous thoughts!

HA!

Susan said...

Sue - What would we do without a sense of humor to balance our lives, right? I heard my email 'ding' early this morning and thought.."Sue's up!"

Susan said...

Sylvie - It's a good thing Lini is such a handsome devil, isn't it?

Susan said...

Jane - HA, indeed....

Thanks for the smile on this busy Friday. I KNEW I had a good reason to read some blogs before tackling my long to-do list!

Susan said...

Michelle - I don't even WANT to think about your to-do list - I bet it runs to pages!!! Have a great weekend.

Carolyn said...

Yep, I'm thankful for YOUR sense of humor as well as mine. Like you said, sometimes it's the only thing keeping us sane sometimes.

Love. Your sense of humor, my dear, is why you keep on keepin' on. More people would be better off if they had a sense of humor like you!

You have either 1) become very wise and know how to look for the very best in every thing in your life, or 2) gone completely over the edge. Should we vote?

Seriously now (as she sits up straight and sucks in her stomach), I am thankful for you, your blog, your fantastic sense of humor, your talent for writing, your joyful outlook on life and your willingness to share with all of us. You're also extremely kind, caring and generous. I'd add beautiful (you must be) but I don't know because you refuse to let us see a picture of your sweet face.

Susan said...

CR - Coming from you, that is a compliment indeed!

Susan said...

MamaTea - That is so true (the keepin' on part). It sure does help to keep the bright side in sight.

Susan said...

Mama Pea - Well, aw shucks. You now have me blushing down to my socks. Goodness, I don't know what to say. And that's sumthin.

I'm thankful for your unique perspective toward everyday things. :-)

Unknown said...

OMG, ROFL, sounds like my life, in different ways!

Leigh said...

LOL. It's all in how we view things, isn't it? So much better with a sense of humor, and I'm thankful for yours too. You never fail to bring a smile to my face. :)

Such a funny post! I need to change my ways and look at things from a different perspective sometimes!
