I am thankful for tea. A cup of tea doesn't actually cure all ills, but it helps calm the shattered nerves of a woman who has nursed her beaten car home from an accident. I'm thankful for friends give hand made mugs and elephant teapots to drink the tea from. I'm thankful for the concerned words from friends who care. I am thankful for a God who hears prayers. I am thankful for friends who are able to come over to look at the beaten car and pronounce it salvagable, even if only temporarily, and promise to look at it again on Sunday and get it drive-able again. I am thankful for a church where people care about one another. I am thankful for a quiet apartment where a woman can cry in private without an audience judging her. I am thankful for cats who look curious and sympathetic when they jump into a lap and purr.
I suppose the traditional thing at Thanksgiving is to be thankful for things that are a little more vague. But these are some of the things I am more immediately thankful for.
I love to knit! And read! And play with my two cats. And wear pretty medieval clothes while I hang out with my friends in the SCA. I have a history degree, which is why I work in the financial dept of Medicare. I suffer from allergic fungal sinusitis and mourn the loss of my sense of smell. My perfect morning? Cool temps and a cup of coffee at my elbow while I knit and savor the prospect of having nowhere that I HAVE to be.

Yikes! I hope that by the fact you are posting that you are physically okay! A few years ago, I was in a car hit by an 18-wheeler on the day after Thanksgiving so I can sympathize with you. Here's hoping both your car and your nerves will be repairable.
