I like to think I spend a lot of time reflecting on all of the things I have to be grateful for. And I do. But, it’s not all that often that I write those things down. So, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I’d like to share my gratitude list.
The Top 40 Things I Am Grateful For:
1. My son Justin. For he is truly the light of my life, even when he drives me nuts.
2. My Mother and My Father. Their undying love and support forever amazes me. And, for providing a roof over my head, food in my stomach, and the never-ending supply of toilet paper and laundry detergent. No, seriously. Thank you for that.
3. My whole entire family. Both sides. We may be crazy, and slightly dysfunctional, but I’d be nothing without each and every one of you. And we sure know how to have a great time together.
4. My Best Friends. You all know who you are.
5. The Written Word.
6. This Blog, and all of the wonderful people that have come into my life as a result.
7. Your Blogs, because each and every one of you [at one time or another] have made me laugh, made me cry, held my hand, inspired me, and taught me so very much.

Yours appears to be slightly more insightful than my list. “Boobs” topped mine, although it appears that OlgaTTB already addressed that in your comments earlier. 🙂
