100 Things That I Am Thankful For

Remember my post about being thankful for what you already have?  If not, click HERE.

A brief background on the story:  Bella was complaining about something and as a punishment I told her to sit down and write 100 things that she was thankful for on a piece of paper.  I thought it over and decided that I should put myself to the test and write down 100 things that I am thankful for.

So, as promised, I have taken the challenge and here is my list of 100 things that I am thankful for.
