Thankful Thursday

Do you ever have those nights where you're comfy in bed, kinda tired, but not necessarily tired enough to sleep (even though I'm sure it's passed midnight...)?

I had one last night, and I was trying to settle my mind but I couldn't.  So, in my efforts to find good things to think about before slumbering- I remembered Thankful Thursday, and it has truly been a while since I've done a post for it.

So here ya go, lucky you.

Every once in a while, someone will ask me, "Why do you wear a tail?"

Frankly, my answer is different every time... depending on who it is or how snarky I am feeling at the moment.  But I must admit- the real, down to it, no lies answer is:

It makes me happy.

Whether it matches what I am wearing, draws the positive attention of a kind stranger, sparks up a conversation, or makes me feel downright adorable- I just love my tail.

I wear it everyday, unless I'm wearing a dress.  I love my tail. 

Are you wondering yet what this has to do with me being thankful?  I hope so, otherwise you weren't really paying attention.  Ah, just messing with ya.  But nonetheless, I am thankful for my tail and the courage to wear it.

Actually, courage just may be the wrong way to put it.  I don't need courage to wear it, I just like it.  I just wear it.  It's what I do.  I am- the girl with the tail. 


Here, now, is a list of other things I am thankful for on this VERY beautiful Thursday:
I am thankful for the man who loves me no matter how weird, stubborn, or moody I may be.
I am thankful for my awesome friends.
I am thankful for laughter! Oh laughter!
I am thankful for changing seasons, flowers, beautiful weather, and beautiful mountains.

...cute dogs
...good food
...gifted hands (healing, drawing, writing, dancing...)
...patience
...and so much much more!

Oh goodness, yes, that's a cheap sign off.  I'm afraid I've got to get to work now.
