A Patch Columnist Gives Thanks

Last year, Patch columnist Christine Wolf made a list of things she was thankful for on Thanksgiving day. This Thanksgiving, we're reprinting her list and asking readers to chime in. What are you thankful for this year?

:

1. Friends who trust me to keep a copy of their house keys (and those willing to keep copies of mine).
2. Three amazing children and a husband of twenty years who cleaned the entire kitchen after Thanksgiving.
3. Living in and writing about Evanston.
4. My health -- and health insurance.
5. My parents, sisters, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews.
6. My dog, Jack.
7. Indoor plumbing.
8. In-laws.
9. All the ups and downs in life; they sure keep things interesting.
10. Comcast internet (when it works).
11. My mother's cranberry apple pie.
12. A sense of humor.
13. Your eyeballs on these words.
14. A song that 1) makes me want to dance AND 2) sends an awesome message.
15. Tweezers.
16. Freedom of speech.
17. Facebook.
18. The fact that I won't be anywhere near the Black Friday shoppers.
19. The person who shot the video of this basketball game...

And that's just a start.
