I'm thankful

It may sound corny, but here goes:
I'm thankful that I work for a public library. I like being part of something that is a community benefit, that supports education, that encourages learning by its nature and its resources, that always has lots of books I want to read, that has more videos and DVDs than I will ever get around to watching, that gives me days that present me with things I've never experienced before (even when they aren't fun at the moment.) I'm thankful that there are so many talented and interesting people to work with.
On another note, I'm thankful for the little ceramic figure I came across last night. It looks a lot like the turkey in the picture, but it's only an inch high, worn and kind of shabby looking, but it was always part of the decorations on the Thanksgiving table when I was a child. I kept it when we divided up the household after my mother died and didn't really think about it again until last night. I feel lucky to have this tangible piece of my youth. Isn't if funny what memories such little things can bring back?
Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
