When I was in 5th grade, my super teacher Mrs. Smith had all kind of fun stuff going on including how to acronym it up. So in honor of Mrs. Smith, I’m going to give it another try. Here’s a simple sample of some of the many things I’m thankful for:
Always thankful for Starbucks!
Today–I thank God for every day I wake up. It’s a gift.
Home–My new apartment is fantastic!
Another Muppet Movie–Can’t wait to see it!
National Military–Thank you all who serve our country.
Kin–My family is honestly too great to describe, but the word kin also reflects friends who are as close as family.
Success–Any success I have is also a gift from above.

We’re so ridiculously blessed in America and in the West. It’s great to take a day and pause for gratitude.
Here are just a few of the fine Thanksgiving posts I’ve caught this week. These folks express thankful sentiments better than I could, so please click and enjoy.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Saw the Muppets yesterday. As an old school muppet fan, I loved it!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Ooh, that’s good to hear. I was hoping it would be nostalgic.
Amen!! Double amen to Starbucks!!
You use “acronym” as a verb. Love that.
Last week, I showed Vivian and William numerous Muppets’ sketches on Youtube. They now play the roles of Kermit and Miss Piggy quite convincingly. I prefer to do the Swedish Chef or Beaker. Or Miss P in full-on karate mode.
Happy Thanksgiving, eh!
Coffee and Muppets!!
These are things I most thankful for! Great post.

Happy Thanksgiving, Clay! Hope you have a great day today and slip into a turkey coma…
(Also, the very fact that there’s another Muppets movie means that all is right with the world).
Thanks for the shout! You are the man! Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m thankful that you said “acronym it up.” Happy Thanksgiving!
I love your acronym and second it wholeheartedly. I would add that I am also thankful for you and the other friends I’ve made on social media in the past year. I never expected to find so many awesome frybers on this strange device that people tell me is called a “computer.”
Thank you for the shout out. Honored. Hope you’re having a great day.
ALWAYS thankful for Starbucks. And for Starbucks gift cards from my hubby’s workplace. And my hubby’s apathy toward Starbucks.
THEY’RE MINE, ALL MINE!
Happy (belated) Thanksgiving! I’m going to see The Muppets tomorrow and I can’t wait!
Glad to see someone else who appreciates Starbucks. People like to bash Starbucks, but it makes really good coffee, and it’s pushed other restaurants to make better coffee, and if that’s not a public service, I don’t know what is.
P.S. Hard not ot smile at the scene in the Muppet movie where they recreate the opening of The Muppet Show.
Great list of things to be thankful for. Starbucks for sure!
I’m thankful for all these great comments! Got tied up in holiday weekendry, but wanted to leave this quick note to say thanks for stopping by everyone
Happy day of thanks! I’m thankful for lots of things. Having thumbs, not being blind, having cats that don’t chew on wires. The list is endless.
