Those of you who are my friends on myspace already know this about me - I keep a daily "thankful" blog. It's something I started about 8 months ago, when I was going through a tough patch in my life. Each evening, I reflect on 5 things for which I'm thankful each day.
I am leaving on a mini-vacay first thing tomorrow morning, so I themed tonight's blog about some of the trips I've been blessed to take over the years. I wanted to repost that blog here, with the hopes that you would share some of your favorite travel memories with me! I hope you enjoy. See you when I get home!

Hello!
Whew - down to the wire tonight! Since I am leaving on a mini-vacay in the morning, I thought I'd give thanks for some wonderful trips I've been fortunate to make over the years.
Today, I am thankful.............
................for the trip to Europe in 1991. My grandmother took my parents and me on a tour of Europe, and the highpoint was seeing the Passion Play in Germany. It truly was the trip of a lifetime.
................for the trip to Los Angeles in 1997. When Jim and I were dating, he took me to LA when I graduated from college. He said the ride from the airport to Simi Valley was spectacular, because it was the only time he could recall me actually being speechless. Heh. In spite of all of the flaws that ended our marriage, Jim and I made some fabulous trips together.
................for the band trip to Orlando our senior year of high school. Elisa and I got a room to ourselves and had the best time. Remember the "Picture Spots", Li Li? Remember using my leg as a guitar and head banging on the bus? How about being stunt chicks? Yeah, that was an awesome trip.
................for the trip to Paris for New Year's 1994. I was part of the Youth Music All-Stars band, and we were in two parades in France. Mock band geeks all you want...........we get to take the best trips! :P
................for the trip to New York City for Thanksgiving in 1995. I went with my parents, and my then-boyfriend came along. Waking up in my very own room in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on Thanksgiving morning........watching the Macy's Parade pass by from the sidewalks of Manhattan.........getting to see 4 Broadway shows in 3 days.........standing atop the Empire State Building at midnight with the snow falling.........this is probably my all-time favorite trip....so far!
I am very blessed to be traveling to the beach for a few days with my dear friend Lynn. I am looking forward to recharging my soul. I hope you have a lovely weekend. What are YOU thankful for?

This is so ironic/funny/cool. I have been doing this with my family for the last two years or so. As often as we can (we try to do this every night) we go around the room before bed time and give thanks for at least one thing for that day.
We added a little spice to that a few months by adding a thankful for something someone in the family has done for/to/with you that day.
And to top it off we also do character trait recognition where we tell someone in our family, vocally, one thing about their character that really pleases us.
Yes, thankfuls are an almost daily occurrence in my house. It is hard to complain about anything when you are busy being thankful. :)
