1. My job. There are some people who are looking for work or who have been laid off from their jobs. I should be thankful that I even have a job. And not just that, but also an extra teaching job two nights a week.
2. My family. My family has always been so extremely supportive of me, and I don't know what I would do without them.
3. My friends. There are people who are not members of my family who love me, who are welcoming to me, who cheer me on and who remember me in their prayers.
4. My health. I have never had any serious health problems. My health has never been something that I've had to worry about interfering with my daily life.
5. My youth. I'm still on the green side of 30 and I still (God willing) have a lot to look forward to.
6. My transportation. I have a pretty decent car that gives me very few problems and gets good gas mileage.
7. My size. I'm a skinny minnie and will continue to enjoy it while it lasts.
8. Little children who run up to me and hug me. I can't get enough of that. It just lights up my life.
9. Long, hot showers. For a few luxurious minutes a day, all troubles melt away.
10. Options. I lament the fact that I don't know what I want to do. But I'm thankful that my confusion and frustration comes from an abundance of options instead of a lack thereof.
11. God's mercy. Though I have single-handedly transformed my life into a desperate tragedy at times, God has allowed me to dust myself off and bounce back.
12. Google translate. Since I have friends from literally all over the world, I can keep up with their Facebook goings-on that aren't written in Spanish or French.
