This day I am thankful for:
A beautiful huge golden moon that came up over the horizon last night.  I looked for it tonight again, but it didn't come up for a long time.  It finally came up before us shrouded amongst wispy clouds but I still recognized my old friend from its glow. 
Gorgeous crisp fall weather in the middle of December. 
Divided highways, good roads, minimal traffic. 
Happy places to stop and eat lunch; crispy fried chicken and french fries and root beer!
A wonderful kind husband that braved town traffic to get me to a bathroom expediently and didn't complain about the inconvenience. 
Vehicles that work well.  Good tires.
Clean, warm comfortable places to spend the night. 
Safety, warmth, peaceful traveling.  It was a very good day.  We got where we meant to get tonight.  We will have a reasonable trip tomorrow and be able to stop in and see the cousins and be in Kingwood by dinner time.  Assuming traffic cooperates.  (We do  still have to go through Dallas.)
What more could we ask?  We have received so many tender mercies.  It's hard to say thank you enough.
