We are on the road, bound for Crystal River and manatee
swimming and I was just thinking how thankful I am for so much in this small
moment in the car. So I thought, as we approach Thanksgiving, I would share
some of those things with all of you…
5 Things I am Thankful for Right at This Moment
~Being on the Road~ Being
on the road with Babe is the perfect breath of fresh air for me. The road, the
radio and my favorite guy is a perfect combination! I am thankful for the time
to talk if we want to, but I am also thankful that we are really good at just
being quite together. Or if I am being honest here, thankful that he is
satisfied to be quite and not complain while I sing my heart out to Blue
Bandana. He may call me weird, but he loves me in spite because of it (something else I'm thankful for!) The open
road and no time commitments are peace for my soul!
~Food!~ Oh gosh,
am I ever glad for food! And I am very thankful that Babe knows the true way to
my heart is through my stomach. He knows me well. I had literally been sitting
in the passenger seat on our way out of town and I was daydreaming about some
4Rivers brisket, but I thought “you know, nope. I am not going to say it. We
are going somewhere new, we can try somewhere new. Ok, but really if he just
decides to pull off and go, then I will love him forever and give him a kiss.”
And then not only 2 minutes later he looks at me and asks, “4Rivers?” Thankful
for a man who knows me well! And for beef brisket sandwiches!! He got his kiss!
~Adventure~ I am
thankful for the ability to adventure and explore! I am thankful that we are
able to get away and find a new place to lay our heads for the weekend! And I
am super thankful for manatees and the chance to swim with them!
~Scenery~ This
world is a beautiful place! I am thankful that God is creative and that He gave
us so much beauty all around us. And I
am thankful that it is all free to take in. A sunset costs nothing except the
time spent enjoying it, which in and of itself isn’t even a cost at all but
really an added blessing!
~Flo~ I am
thankful for FloRida and that she is finally back on the road! When we got her
we said we would try to go somewhere new once a month, even if it was just to
the local county park. Just to give us time away together. Time to unplug and
pour into the quiet and the slow. Well, she missed that goal last month, so I
am extra thankful for this trip! It’s her 3rd big expedition and she
is just as thankful as I am!
Well, we are almost there, so I’m off to explore and
befriend a sea cow!
Have a thanks filled weekend!!
