It's November, and Thanksgiving is on its way. I'm still in Canada, and it's alone time like this that conjures up warm and fuzzy feelings about home. God has been so good to my family and me, and I could go on for days about all the gifts He's given us. With all the hype, uber-commercialism and all-around craziness of Christmas, my favorite holiday is often overlooked. It's easy to get consumed with purchasing gifts for family and friends and forget about things that we already have that we're thankful for. But, here are just a few things (in absolutely no particular order), both intangible and material, that I'm grateful I’ve been given:
God’s unconditional love
a loving husband
bad/sweet puppies
being an American
DVR, the poor man's TiVo
Cupcakes
Hand sanitizer
Mississippi State
good friends, old and new
hair on my head
Old Navy
XM Radio
supportive parents
a fun sister
health
great work friends
Clorox wipes
digital cameras
wise and wonderful grandparents
the CHI
Weight Watchers
great in-laws
blue jeans
Emily Post's Etiquette
freedom
naps

I love it! I'm going to work on my own list now :)
I am thankful for you. I was just thinking I wanted to make a list to be thankful for this year! Glad that I am in Canada with you now and am also glad we are from the good ole USA!

I guess this can't be anonymous, but I am thankful for my beautiful, accomplished daughter!
