I'm Thankful For ...

~~ Adam, Alex and Aaryn – the three best nephews any aunt could hope for

~~ The rest of my family

~~ A job I love, love, love. (I'd say more but it's never good to let your boss know you're that happy. So don't tell him, ok? And don't tell Scott, Frank, Dan, Stefan, Peg and Clara either.)

~~Tom Riel, who I'm proud to call my friend (and whose wife created the best salad in the world. Thanks Janel!)

~~ City Council meetings or, as I think of them, my twice-a-month night of entertainment

~~ A state government with a plethora of entertaining figures

~~ Friends who appreciate the use of the word "plethora"

~~Drivers who use turn signals

~~People who tell me they appreciate the work I do (This means you, Bob Onuffer)

~~The United Way

~~The Kiwanis Club

~~Mike Walter

~~Mike Cejka

~~Diane, Becky and Maria

~~Everybody who appreciates community theater (I hope that includes everyone I may inadvertently leave off this list.)

~~Joe Scarnati for trusting me and saying all that nice stuff about me

~~Anne Albright, Tim Nyquist, Hanson Quickel, Matt Roberts and Mike Davies for taking such good care of me

~~Kimberly Weinberg, Tom Missel and George Nianiatus for making my life so much easier

~~Brad Christman – for hardly ever saying no – and for making me laugh

~~Sara Andrews for her vision and dedication

~~Marty Causer

~~Sister Margaret Carney and Dr. Livingston Alexander

~~Joe Paterno

~~Joe Frombach

~~Joe the Plumber – No, just kidding. But I already had Joe the Senator/Lt. Governor; Joe the Coach; and Joe the Baker so I figured … Never mind.

~~Hillary, CBK, Tina Fey and, yeah, even that hockey mom from Alaska

So, what are you thankful for?
