My Thankful List

At this Thanksgiving time, we all find ourselves being thankful for those things around us. As most people, I feel that my life is very blessed, which I owe all to my Heavenly Father. So I felt it was appropriate to make a thankful list.

Disclaimer: this is not a comprehensive list. If it was, it would go on and on and you would get a headache from staring at the screen for so long!

I am thankful for:

• my loving (and understanding) husband who makes me laugh!
  
• my kind parents who let us live with them for so long
  
• my siblings who live so close to us
• my family that lives so far from us
• technology that helps us keep in touch with our far-away family
• warm bubble baths
• my discovery of Milo, a New Zealand hot drink that I have everyday!
  
• my good job
• X's opportunity to get a good education (and at a good price)
  
• my physical therapist who helped me with my back
• my forever friends who still keep in touch with me
• nutritous food that is everywhere for us to buy
• yummy food that makes me happy
