sawdust.

This is one of my favorite smells. I'm thankful for smells and how much they can mean to one person. Someone might think that this smell is a little odd at first glance and well, it is, but to me it is so special.

I have this blanket on my bed that spend the majority of its life in my Grandma's basement. It smells like my Grandma's basement. I love it. The other night I was laying in bed and by just smelling the blanket, a smell that others would probably describe as old and musty, I was flooded with happy memories and comfort.

I am thankful for smells and how they can bring up memories, create emotions, and mean something different to each of us.

sawdust- My day is a contractor and is constantly working in sawdust all day. Coming home he would reek of it. I love the smell of sawdust.

I also love the smell of crayons, old books, and dew in the morning. All full of wonderful memories.

I'm thankful for snow plows. and the people who drive them. Having to get up at 6:30 in the morning to get to work (and running late, as usual) I forget I had to shovel out the area in front of my garage. I quickly walk through the wind tunnel, that is created in-between the apartment garages and find a fairly large drift blocking me in. Opening the door I quickly grab my mini shovel (my parents thought that I should have a mini shovel that fits in my trunk, however it just causes me to be constantly hunched over as I shovel) and start to work my way out. Just then the snow plow rounds the corner and with a quick pass by my garage door, it was all gone. Thank you Lord for big trucks that push the snow out of my way so I can get through. In some ways You are kinda like my snow plow if snow was my sins and You, as the snow plow, make the way clear for me. Yep, I just made that comparison work.

I really like the " ... "in writing. Its not really the end to a sentence or saying anything specific, but it definitely means something when you use it. It can change the whole meaning of what you are saying, for instance:
"that movie was great." or "that movie was great!" means that movie was great
"that movie was great..." means that movie probably wasn't so great, actually it was probably really bad
wow three little dots can say a lot
it also saves you a lot of time, stick one on the end of the list and all of a sudden you've included everything possible and more
"today we went to the store and then the movies and then out to eat and then..."
On top of all of it, I just like how it looks.
Thanks God for giving me punctuation and ...
