Thanksgiving Eve

I usually take this day to, whilst fulfilling my usual duties of baker's assistant, make a list of the things I'm thankful for:

1. A family who loves me: brothers who make me laugh, a mother who is also a friend, and a dad who reminds me of my value.

2. Having a relationship with God such that I can speak to Him and I know that He hears me.

3. Children: their hugs, smiles and innocence.

4. The opportunity to pursue an education.

5. The chances I've had in the past and the chances I'll have in the future to travel the world.

6. Having the ability to speak a foreign language.

7. Reliable friends.

8. A car that gets awesome gas mileage.

9. Straight teeth.

10. The hereditary gift of not having to watch my weight (yet).

11. My health.

12. Sunflowers.

13. Scarves.

14. Chai tea lattes.

15. Good books.

16. Lively, intelligent conversation.

17. Genuine, all-encompassing hugs.

18. My boy winning the presidency.

19. People that make me belly laugh.

20. My youth and having my whole life ahead of me.
