After stuffing myself with Thanksgiving food, it’s time to reflect. To think. To ponder.
Actually, I can’t move. So it’s the perfect time to pause and be thankful for the wonderful people and things in my life.
I’m thankful to:
- my parents who believe in me when I don’t–you’re always proud, even when I’m not making six figures and living in your living room.
- my friends who prop me up when the world knocks me down–all those texts matter.
- my blog buddies who cheer me on and commiserate with me–your support has helped me through so many writing gullies.
- my crit partner and best writing buddy–you make me a better writer & person.
- my Grandma H–she somehow makes me laugh on a weekly basis.
- my dog who loves me when I’m sick and stinky–that’s unconditional love
I’m also thankful that I know what I love to do and I can do it. Sitting at the computer revising for 6 hours made me feel good this week. Because I enjoy it. I love it.
And the accomplishment I feel from improving a scene is almost as good as a bonus check.
I’m thankful that Dr. Bitan fixed my spine so that I can sit and type without crippling pain.
I’m thankful to all the teachers who invested in me, who gave of themselves and made me smarter than any book alone could.
I’m thankful that I live in one of the freest countries in the world, where I can do anything I put my mind to.
I hope everyone had a terrific Turkey day and survives Black Friday shopping!
Many Thanks!

I love red shoes too! Aww, lovely post, Kourtney. You’re a lovely lady and we’re grateful you share your journey with us! 🙂
Absolutely inspiring aren’t they? 🙂 Thanks CC. I am so glad I met you here too. I really enjoy your blog and I’m glad to be a small part of your world! 🙂
I’m thankful for you and for coming into my life. You are special and amazing. Don’t ever forget it.
Aw Jenny, thanks so much. I’m so glad to know you too. You make the impossible seem possible. Appreciate the reminder. I did lose sight of that for a few weeks. But I’m finally seeing it again. 🙂
Those are all good reasons to be thankful! And if those desserts were from Thanksgiving with your family, no wonder you can’t move! Wow, do those look yummy. 🙂
Hubs and I did manage a good walk this afternoon, but tomorrow it’s back to the normal morning workouts!
Thanks. 🙂
We did leftovers with the family again today. But my mom and I went on a half hour walk after dinner. I can’t wait to get back to normal food. IT delicious and decadent, but too much pie. That was our dessert table from last year. OMG, it was even more tempting this year. 😉
Lovely! I’m sure that all those people you’re thankful for are weekly thankful for you. Great message.
Aw I hope so. And I hope you know I count you as one of my blog buddies and I am very thankful for you! 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving, Kourtney 🙂
Thanks Cha! Hope your had a good Thanksgiving with lots of tasty food and loved ones. 🙂
nice list, Kourtney. we all have so much to appreciate.
Thanks Louise. I agree. And sometimes, I’m not thankful enough. And I need to try to be thankful at least once a week for all the good in my life. 🙂
It’s always important to stop and think about the good things we have, and this has been a great weekend to do just that. Perhaps there will be another Grandma H post soon? I’m thankful for those. 🙂
It really is one of the best times of year to do that. 🙂 I’m aiming for one soon. 🙂
Lots of good reasons to be thankful. I’m thankful mainly that my family are healthy and happy, and everything else is a bonus.
Very true Elliot. Those are the two most important things. Everything else is the whipped cream on the sundae of life. 🙂
Great list ( give that Grandma a hug!)
I’m thankful I’m having to fight the shopping mob to try and snag some “must have item”
So thankful for sensible people
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Thanks! Aw I will.
LOL, I do all my shopping online, it’s safer for my physical and mental wellbeing. 😉
Hope you survive the weekend out!
Being thankful for so much for is something to be thankful for… if you now what I mean. Heaps of people think they have less, or more, but does it matter if they aren’t thankful for each and every bit of it? No. Being thankful doesn’t cost a cent of time, energy or money but it makes a huge difference to ourselves and the people around us. You’ve done well 🙂 And now, after seeing that photo I need to go and find some cake 😉
I think it’s easy to get caught up in the negative. In what you don’t have or haven’t accomplished. I’m thankful for Thanksgiving because it’s an annual reminder to stop and think about what I have and be grateful for it. May make it a weekly practice at least in my mind. It buoyed up my spirits too. May you find some good cake! 🙂
Lovely post, Kourtney. I’m thankful to call you friend. 🙂
Aw thanks August! I consider you one of my blog buddies as well as a friend. 🙂
How sweet. You are a delight.
Thanks Berry! I have my good days. 🙂
Great post, Kourtney.
Thanks Naomi! 🙂
A lovely list (and that’s one fine spread too!)
Thanks. And it was delicious squared. 🙂
