Haapy Thanksgiving

I am thankful for:

my husband's annoying sneeze.

my daughter's cute little temper tantrums.

our petty, childish fights.

relatives who means well, but are sometimes annoying.

test scores, which are a few points shy from what is required.

relatives, who'd call and say they'd stay over for a few days.

missing important deadlines.

parents who can be supportive and critical at the same time.

inlaws who, once again means well but are overly protective and cautious.

the difference my inlaw and I have in child-rearing.

guests who'd show up on a moments notice.

unexpected appointment which means having to cancel something planned a month ago.

intimidating, nerve-wrecking professors.

awkward dinner parties with my husband's co-workers/friends.

embarassing situations at my expense.

I am thankful inspite of all the things that make life seem unbearable because it made me work harder, wake up earlier, stand straighter, wait longer and inhale a little more deeper. In other words, it made a much better version of myself.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
