Being thankful

So today while outside planting some new plants, my mind kept wandering off to the things I like and the things I dislike. Who know's why... I just couldn't stop thinking about it. Such as...

I don't like...

• Flying insects (including butterflys and moths) (Fireflies and Ladybugs excluded)
  
• Fire ants
• Spiders
• Bad gardening gloves
• Hornets in my house (yes I've had 2 in the last 24 hours... that's a story I'll have to tell later)
• Not having money
• Cellulite and my back fat that rolls over my bra
• Dry itchy skin
  

Yes, the list could go on, but as I was thinking all of this, I kept telling myself to just keep coming up with more of the things that I really love. Who knows why this has been in my head this morning, maybe it's my subconscious telling me that I need to be more thankful. Hmmmm...

Things I love: (in no particular order)

• Five hour energy shots
• Red breasted robins
• Springtime and Autumn
• Cute socks
• Crocs
• Polymer clay
• Marlboro menthol (yeah, I know I was supposed to be quitting)
• Ribbon
• Anything toile
• Roosters, (not actual roosters although I'm sure they are nice and all but I'm talking about things with pictures of roosters on them)
• Diet Grapico
• My Sony Alpha 300
• Drains that flow properly
• Chardonnay
• Baby kisses
• Tulips
• My trips to visit Jan and Jim (aunt and uncle)
• Lip balm!
• Cheese dip (really, most dips... I could dip anything, yeah, I'm a dipper...)
• Purple
• The smell of basil and cilantro (not together, of course)
• My dads Moose food (he just calls it that, its really just the best nachos ever)
• Camping
• Target clearance
• Surprises from Bobby... he's always bringing me home little goodies, even if it's just from a gumball machine
• Fresh flowers in my kitchen
• Fat free French vanilla coffee creamer
• My garbage disposal
  
• Watching Heroes on Monday nights
• Cream cheese
  
• My Shabby Chic duvets and quilt
• The way my Mom and Dad light up every time they see my children

Of course my family, but that goes without saying. This list could go on. I'll probably think of plenty more as the day goes on, and I'm not even really sure why I'm even putting this on here. But, you know, thinking about all of the little things you're grateful for sometimes helps put you in a better frame of mind. Even kind of cheers you up...




If you have the time, post some of the tings you are thankful for in my comment section. I'd love to see them.
