Learning to be Thankful

I am thankful for:
- I am saved by Grace. I get to be thankful for eternity.
- My position at Ecola, as well as the awesome staff I have the honor to work with, and also the great student body we have.
- Good health. I haven't been sick once all summer and fall. I think I'm getting sick now, but I haven't been up until this point. Sweet.
- My abundance of possessions. I have too much stuff - what a dumb thing to complain about.
- A home to come to for Thanksgiving.
- Getting to see my uncle Ron for Thanksgiving and him and my other "uncle" Kent live so close that I can go visit them more often.
- A car that, while having a lot of weird little things wrong with it, runs perfectly and gets good gas mileage.
- A lifestyle where finding time for things isn't hard.
- So many opportunities to learn and grow recently, both as a person, and as a person in communion with God.
- The internet!
- My cat. This may seem weird, but my cat is really great.
- Friends. I take friends for granted, but there are some people who really can't say they have any friends. Sad. :(
- Music. I'm glad it was created.
- A cell phone. I really never use it other than as an alarm clock, but when I do need it, it's so nice to have.
- That I'm able to read and write, speak and see and hear. Communication is super cool.
- Enough food around me that I'm able to get fat if I want to. People complain about getting fat, but they're not starving to death - What's to complain about?
- Humor! Seriously, why is everything so funny?

Might update this more throughout the day.
