The St. Louis Bloggers are hosting a carnival. The theme: “What are you most thankful for this year?”

I’m most thankful (and here I tempt fate) for the lack of disasters. I’m thankful for no plane crashes, no sudden unexplained deaths, no terrifying new illnesses, no random or premeditated acts of violence and no natural disasters scooping away friends, loved ones and their worldly possessions.

I’m thankful (and still shocked) that Shawn Hornbeck was found alive and reunited with his family.

I’m grateful that we’ve made it another year in a place we love, with jobs that are good and rewarding, with kids that are good, thriving kids and that we have friends that we love. I’m thankful to my husband for making it possible for me to travel for work.

Here’s to another year of cheating death and avoiding disasters.
