Giving Thanks

With Thanksgiving coming up this week I thought it would be appropriate to list some of the things that I am thankful for this year.

1. God
2. That I live in a country that lets me believe in and worship God
3. That I live in a country that allows me to vote for my President
4. Computers (need I say more?)
5. Blackberries (the phone not the fruit!) :-)
6. That I have a job
7. That I have health insurance
8. I have a home with affordable heating, cooling, running water and a toilet!
9. The health and happiness of myself and family members. That those with "known conditions" have not had occurences of active disease.
10. Books and the freedom to buy, borrow, and read the books that I want
11. Book Club for opening me up to new "reads"
12. Coffee
13. Tea
14. DVR
15. My bed
16. My two dogs, Maggie and Dakota. Only they give me that unconditional love (and wet kisses) that is so important after a long day at work
17. Flu shots
18. Kleenex--really I'm serious can you imagine having a cold but no kleenex...ewww!
19. Flavored coffee
20. Flavored Tea
21. Ipod
22. Friends, both cyber and 3d

That is just a smidgen of all I am thankful for...granted some of it is pretty shallow, but real all the same!
