Thankful

I feel like I have been so blessed in my life. Here are 26 things I am thankful for in addition to LAST YEARS list!

1. Prayer, I am so grateful to be able to talk to my Father in Heaven and know that he is listening whenever I want.

2. My Kindle. Could there be a greater invention?

3. Fabric. There are a couple reasons. It makes it so that we don't have to walk around naked and it brings me hours of sewing
entertainment.

4. Gum, it curbs my cravings when all I want to do is eat ALL day at work!

5. My husband who is going back to school to get his masters degree
so he can take care of our family.

6. My calling at church, it is teaching me and I feel like I am learning from it.

7. My treadmill. We have a love/hate relationship but it is good for me.

8. Pentel gel pens. I use these all day at work and they write so well and smooth. Bliss!

9. Email. I NEVER have to talk on the phone at work. It's Heavenly!

10.Airplanes. Even though the thought of a metal tube shooting through the sky at a zillion miles an hour is a little frightening, it's pretty amazing that I can see my family in California from Colorado in a matter of a couple hours instead of a 2 day drive!

11.Google. I Google EVERYTHING!

12.Those serving our country.

13.Our DVR. My security blanket. I can freely go to the store on Thursday nights without having to haul butt back home so I don't miss Grey's Anatomy.

14.Excedrin MIGRAINE! Enough said.

15.Being able to do service. I know I need to do more but I am glad that I am able to help those in need when the opportunity arises.

16.My 20 minute drive to work in the mornings. I can talk to my
Heavenly Father, reflect on the day ahead or just belt out songs
on the radio and pretend like I can sing better than Taylor Swift.

17.Cell phones. What in the WORLD did we do before cell phones? I
tremble at the thought. Seriously sometimes Scot and I walk around for 2 hours looking for each other at Target if I
leave my phone at home. Soooo annoying!

18.The Sun. I love everything about it. Warmth, growth, happiness!

19.The song "Fireflies" by Owl City. The tune just makes you
happy.

20.Calendars/Day Planners. I love making lists and writing down the things I need to do and places I need to be.

21.HUGE purses. I like to be prepared so I am always carrying around my kindle, at least two magazines, a day planner (see #20), lotion and body spray, calorie books, etc, etc, etc so I am glad that big bags are in!

22.Going Green! I love that people are so in to protecting our planet and not being so wasteful. I can't say that I have completely jumped on the bandwagon but I am glad that there are
people who care. I am working on it.

23.THIS blog. She inspires me.

24.Fax machines. Seriously who comes up with this stuff?

25.Those little nail polish remover wipe things. The funny thing
is that Cutex makes them but the Equate ones at Wal Mart work
WAYYYY BETTER!

26.January, to me it means new beginnings and 9am church, no more
1:00!!!


So there you have it, 53 things I am grateful for!

Whatever happened, it's fixed now. I can comment. Don't know what my problem was before.
