Things I'm grateful for

All month long, I've been seeing daily postings on facebook of things friends are grateful for. Thanksgiving is on the 26th this year and I decided to create a gratitude list, just not share it on facebook. So, by date this month, I've been grateful for:

1. An extra hour of sleep
2. Catchy tunes that make me smile (in this case "That's All" by Phil Collins)
3. Naps
4. Endodontists and not having to have a root canal today
5. Appreciation for fine art I can't afford
6. Friends who invite me to do things with them
7. Good meatloaf
8. Good movies that make me bawl (in this case, "The Green Mile")
9. AARP for sending me a membership solicitation and giving me a good laugh
10. People who think they can handle home birth
11. Piggy banks and Trapper Monastery honeys
12. People I can have great conversations with
13. My job and its benefits
14. Pajama days
15. People who inspire
16. Sweet potato fries and friends to laugh with at funny movies
17. Meetings with free food and health insurance fully paid for by employers
18. Friends helping friends
19. Kind and courteous people
20. Check lists that make busy productive days
21. Modern technology from the washer and dryer, dishwasher, cell phones to the Wii
22. Friends who carpool with me to church
23. The ward mostly-carbohydrate turkey dinner -- half a scoop of mashed potatoes, yams, stuffing, half a slice of turkey with a drizzle of gravy ... however, we could have all the dessert we want.
24. The ability to buy my own turkey dinner.
25. Over the counter drugs to help me get over whatever this coughing and achiness is.
