My list...

Many of my Facebook friends have been doing a daily "what I'm thankful for" post.  I started, but it quickly went by the wayside.  I decided to do one long blog post, listing 30 things I'm thankful for.  You know, the whole month in one big post.  So here it is:

1. Today is my 56th birthday... I'm thankful for each and every day of life! (This list was actually started on the 16th... where oh where did the month go?)
2. My loving husband, who is the most awesome man!  We've shared the good and the bad, and he always reminds me that he loves me no matter what!
3. My two sons!  I could not love them any more than I already do.  They are a blessing to me.  They bring me such joy!
4. My parents and my grandparents... they left a legacy of love.
5. My sisters and brothers!
6. My extended family... yes, every one of you! 
7. My friends.
8. My church home.
9. My home.  
10. Clothes to wear.
11. Food to eat.
12. Reliable cars.
13. My cell phone.
14. Computers!
15. Working appliances.
16. My new scanner!
17. Books... and more books!
18. Art
19. Family photos
20. Music
21. Good neighbors
22. Wind chimes
23. Colleges and Universities
24. Prayer Chains 
25. Good Doctors
26. Diet Coke... cuz I really needed one today
27. The Internet, which has expanded my world
28. The right to vote
29. Freedom
30. Faith

These are in no particular order of importance, and the list doesn't even scratch the surface, but it's a start.  There are just so many things to be thankful for!  Even though this is the month of the Thanksgiving holiday, I try to remember to thank God, every day of the year, for all that I've been given.

With that said... it's goodbye to November and hello to December... hohoho!
