Thanks, but No Thanks

I'm feeling compelled on this eve of Thanksgiving to turn my attention for a moment in a slightly different direction. Of course, tomorrow there will be much giving of thanks. In fact, I intend to be lousy with gratitude for all the blessings in my life. But, for just a few moments I'd like to list a few things that I wouldn't mind seeing disappear.

These are things that I would be really Thankful to say "bye bye" to in 2010...

1. Unsolicited Advice
2. Sleepless nights
3. Thinly Veiled Gossip
4. Transformer Movies
5. Sunday School Answers in response to Genuine Heartbreak
6. 95% of Adult Contemporary Worship Music
7. Guilt abUsed as a Motivator
8. Infertility
9. Living in Denial and Expecting the Rest of Us to take Residence There Too
10. Carrie Prejean

If all those things disappeared from my radar I would be the most thankful chick on the planet. I know it's a ton to ask, but it sure would make life more pleasant for a minute or two.

Now, let's get on with the genuine giving of thanks...
