It only takes a holiday for me to go, "WOW! I haven't blogged in over 20 days!" hahahaha. But I just wanted this to be a "What we're thankful of"-blog, so here we go!
- For my God, who for some reason loves me unconditionally, gave His Son's life for me, showed me mercy and grace in times where I clearly didn't deserve it, blesses me when I don't return the favor, and gently speaks to me through His perfect word.
- For family and friends. All of them. From close and extended family to best friends and people you only chat with once-a-month. All the same, the people are in our lives and that is something to be thankful for.
- For my dog, Honey. Isn't she CUTE?!
- For food, water, and various other drinks.
- For a roof over our heads, air conditioning during the Summer and heat during the Winter, blankets and pillows for comfort, and a working shower and toilet (You don't know how much you'll be thankful for those until you don't have a working one).
- For clothes. What a gift to be able to cover and warm ourselves all day long.
- For pens and paper, because some phenomenal people have been able to write wonderful words of encouragement, poetry, short stories, epic tales, and commentaries that we would be without today without writing utensils and paper.
- For music. All kinds. There is truly so much talent out there, and just being able to hear God's gift in other people's lives is awesome.
- For means of contact; Email, snail-mail, telephones/cell phones, blogging, Skype, Facebook, etc.
- For different nationalities and cultures, because seriously, if everyone were the same, this world would be rather boring. Also, for languages. There are so many beautiful means of communicating around the world, and English is only one language to do it.
- For children, because they are the future (And when you get old, you best know they'll be taking care of you!).
- For TV and movies (Of which I know I might watch too much here and there).
- For games (Of which I might do the same. hehe).
- For hot tubs, because they feel SO nice after a long day. hahaha.
- And lastly, but not the least (At least for me. hahaha), I'm thankful for sweet tea! Oh, what would a Southern state be like without the comatose-inducing sweetness that is Southern sweet tea?!
It truly is a day to think about all the things we are thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Oh how I agree with you on so many things!
Here's a quick list of my "thanksgivings" in addition to the ones you've already listed...
1) Daniel. The man who has stood by myside through everything and who will one day become my husband.
2) laughter...it really is the best medicine.
3) rain. Because it's good for the earth and makes a great excuse to chill out and relax
4) clean air. I never realized how important this was until I moved to what feels like the smog capital of the universe.
5) Love. Such a simple word for such a profound gift.
