Thanksgiving and the Holidays are officially upon us! Many folks will return to their ancestral homes, share food and drink with loved ones, and bask in the proverbial warmth of kith and kin. This is also the time when many stop and reflect on all that they have in their lives and express thanks and gratitude.
We do things a little bit differently around here at the Deaf Dogs and Benevolent Gnomes homestead. The big important things in our lives are too amazing to only express gratitude for them one day a year. We spend 364 days a year being grateful for the big things we have. Not a day goes by where I don't give the misses a hug and tell her "I love you". Not a day goes by that I don't pet our furry companions, or tuck them in at night and remind them they are loved (even if they can't hear). We try to always express our gratitude for our family and friends, our health, and the countless thing that bring us comfort and happiness in our daily lives.
Since we spend the rest of the year being grateful for all the big important things we have in our lives, we usually spend Thanksgiving being thankful for the little things that make small moments or ordinary days special. Today we're thankful for:

Warm afternoon sunbeams.
Bowls of freshly harvested currants.
The ability to explore our world and discover cool things, like Harlequin Ducks.
Monarch Butterflies in the garden.
The ability to try and fail, and learn from our failures, like the failed sauerkraut experiment.
Things that are beautiful just for the sake of being beautiful.
The little things in life, they're pretty darn special too.
