Things To Be Thankful For: #15: A Blanket!

Don't you feel comforted just thinking about a blanket?

Whether its to keep you warm on a chilly night, protect you during a scary movie, or to create a magical playground for a child, a cozy blanket is always a necessity!  Yesterday, while driving home from work, I drove behind a car with a blanket completely covering the back seat.  Now at first, I have to admit, I was a little confused, but no sooner was I confused, then two little heads popped out from behind the blanket laughing and smiling!  Remember those days of making tents and blanket forts and laughing for hours in this new world that you'd invented? What a great time! It made me smile to think of how something so simple could bring so much joy!

Maybe Linus had good reason for carrying that blue blanket around with him all of the time, after all! 

Oh, and here's a fun fact: The blanket was just inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame! Don't believe me? Check it out here: http://www.toyhalloffame.org/
