A Day of Thanks

Sometimes I wish cliche's didn't exist because it takes meaning away from some of the best things in life. Including physically writing down what you are thankful for. So in spirit of the holiday, these are twenty things I am thankful for...in no particular order. (FYI, the picture, I am thankful for that guy. Just because he is impressive.)

1. My family. It is amazing how I can be so lucky. And I had zero to do with it. Thanks, God.
2. My friends. There aren't words to describe it, and that means...I'm blessed.
3. Patience. Because although it can be tough to wait for something you want so badly, it makes it even better when everything works out.
4. The words, I love you. And the way they make me feel.
5. My church family, wherever I live. They make Sunday mornings, and the days in between, better.
5. Sounds like music...and laughter. Because to me, they go together.
6. Technology. Sometimes I hate it, but it a blessing.
7. The fact that I can look back on my childhood and smile.
8. Being taught confidence, morals, and how to treat others. Because, yes, it is taught.
9. For sloths. Enough said.
10. The fact that I know I have people who would do so much, if not anything, for me.
11. Voice cracks. Thank you for making me laugh....every time.
12. Democracy (extra cheesy, I know)
13. When people fall in trashcans. It doesn't happen often, but when it does...
14. Christmas music
15. That I can safely say I'll never be homeless.
16. Letters, words, sentances and the people who put them together and make them meaningful.
17. The two best states. Michigan and Missouri. South Dakota, you're next.
18. love.
19. faith.
20. my life.
