I know I have a lot to be thankful for:

1. A wonderful husband

2. 3 great dogs
3. A roof over my head
4. A great education
5. Family and friends that love me
6. My health
7. And SO MUCH MORE!

But I think that Thanksgiving should also come with wishes, like, things that we WOULD be thankful for if they came true. If that were the case, this is what I would wish for:

1. The ability to sit through a meal with other women who don't share the same lifestyle as me, & have it not be filled with catty nonsense and condescension. Just because I'm not a mother yet does not mean that I'm not an adult...please don't act like I should be placed at the "kid table."
2. That my in-laws would stop worrying about our finances. Last I checked, we were able to pay our bills & put some money in savings. Are we rolling in it? No, but we're doing just fine. Please don't ask if my husband can afford a hair cut...yes, he can...he just doesn't want one. Thanks.

3. That people would stop whining about their weight & how bad they know it is to eat a big Thanksgiving meal...while they're eating the big Thanksgiving meal. Here's my perspective: if you're going to eat a big meal, just do it, allow yourself the splurge, but if you're going to whine about it, show some self-restraint and stop yourself before you start. It makes no sense to beat yourself up about a meal that you know you're going to enjoy. Just enjoy it.

Well, that's what I'd wish for. But, even if they don't come true, I'm thankful nonetheless.
