For the month of November, I’m going to continue with my habit of posting things I am thankful for. Thankfulness is different from happiness, and I don’t want to conflate the two.
I’m so thankful for our little house that keeps me warm and dry. I’m also thankful for the maintenance people who keep everything in working order and for the grounds keepers who maintain the lawns and plantings. I LOVE Franke Tobey Jones.

I’m thankful that the clocks are turned back to “real” time. I prefer waking up to see the sunrise, rather than having the sun going to bed the same time I do. My personal circadian rhythms are much better suited to Standard Time, even though it takes a while for my body to get the message about bedtime in Standard Time, because I have to force myself to stay awake until 9:00 pm.

Today I’m thankful that I waked up to a beautiful sunrise. I’m even (especially) thankful that the clocks are turned back to “real” time. I prefer waking up to see the sunrise, rather than having the sun going to bed the same time I do. My personal circadian rhythms are much better suited to Standard Time, than to Daylight Savings Time.
Today I’m thankful that my beloved Oregon Ducks football team (and the whole PAC12) has finally started their season – with a win (35-14) over perennial nemesis – Stanford. #GoDucks
I’m struggling today to be thankful. I suppose I’m thankful that there are SOME cooler heads in response to the horrific terrorism in Paris, Beirut, and Bagdad. At the same time, I’m fearful that the drums of war are beating. God in your mercy…

Today I’m thankful that my beloved Oregon Ducks football team has finally figured out how to win convincingly again. (I know, 1st world problem). The season is shot as far a national recognition goes, but, if they can get past Stanford next week, there’s the tiniest glimmer of hope for the PAC 12.
I’m so thankful that a team that I support is finally not a loser (I have a bad habit of loving the losers and it’s really nice to pick a winner for once). The Oregon Ducks are champions of the PAC-12 (North Division) and win/lose/or draw next week against Oregon State Beavers they will represent the north in the PAC-12 Championship game on December 5th. I’m could wax poetic about all the great stuff they are doing (including being #2 in the whole nation), but I thought I’d tell you why I’m totally their fan. Their quarterback, Marcus Mariota, is a fine young man – a student of the sciences who wants to “help other people” either in Sports Medicine or in Physical Rehabilitation. He’s carrying 20 credits this semester in addition to being the leader of his team. The other things I love about the Ducks is their play. They rely on quickness, speed, agility, and innovation instead of on brute strength and power. Personally, I dislike “smash-mouth” football that seems bent on seeing exactly how much one team can hurt the other team. They are also truly balanced, with lots of different players contributing to their success and no ONE player who has to carry the whole load for the team. Watch them play, and I think you’ll be won over. #GoDucks!
