Thankful Thursday post

[dampscribbler]

I'm thankful for LJ and all of you, so that I have a place and people to whom I can admit that I'm not feeling okay about little things like my always-seem-to-be-learning-them-six-months-late parenting skills.  And y'all relate and get me laughing and I feel better.

I'm thankful for laughter, which I'm discovering is a valuable parenting tool.  I wish my mom had known that.  I'm thankful that Maggie knows it, and that she and I can get each other laughing when we need it.  And I'm thankful that I figured out to pay attention to her when she took the lead on laughing.   

Thankful for sunshine today, even though it's cold outside and I'm shivering deep down to my innards. 

Thankful for a warm Bucky on my shoulders.  And occasionally on my head and ears.  Ahhhh, warm ears. 

Thankful for the sauna at the gym, which I'm going to try to get to later today. 

Thankful for physical therapy.

Good for you and Maggie for catching on about the laughter thing. It sticks with you both for a long time.

It makes the short-term pleasanter, too!
