25 Things I'm Grateful For

Hey everyone,
Well, it's almost that time of year again! The time to be with friends and family, stuff ourselves sick, and, of course, give thanks. You know, Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. Not just because it falls right before my birthday (November 28; just a reminder...) and involves massive amounts of delicious food, but also because it gives us an opportunity to really be grateful for all that we have....and we have so much! So I decided to make a list of 25 things I'm grateful for. Some are silly, some are sincere, but they're all true. Enjoy!

1. The fact that I have a wonderful, caring family. Love you guys!

2. That I am able to get an education.

3. Chocolate! 'Nuff said:)

4. The Internet. Thank you, Sir Tim Berners Lee!

5. My health. I could have been born with some kind of fatal disease.

6. Clearance racks J

7. Those great moments with friends and/or family that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Aww...

8. The fact that a healthy, substantial amount of food is put in front of me each and every day.

9. Denim. Seriously, try to picture a world without denim...see, can't do it, can you? J

10. The fact that creating a blog on blogspot.com is free. If it wasn't, you probably wouldn't be reading this!

11. That I will be able to go to college.

12. That people care enough about the environment and global warming to do something about it.

13. My surroundings--just think, you and I could have been born in a poverty stricken village in Africa.

14. That I have the opportunity to travel.

15. Colors! As anyone who's ever read The Giver (by Lois Lowry) knows, a world without colors would be very boring indeed.

16. My heritage and culture. I'm grateful to be from such a wonderful country.

17. At the end of every day, I have a warm, comfortable bed to sleep in.

18. Music. Much like color, a world without music would be so boring!

19. My close friends; (you know who you are!) I seriously don't know what I would do without you.<3

20. Marshmallow fluff: sweet, sticky, and fattening. What more could you want?

21. Bush only has one more year in the office!

22. Fuzzy slippers...I don't think an explanation's neededJ

23. The world usually has enough good in it to balance out the bad.

24. My life.

25. That you read all twenty five of these! Happy Thanksgiving.
