Random Things I'm Thankful For

There are things in life many of us are grateful for ... God, our families, our friends, our jobs, a great church, a home, etc.

Then there are the random "little" things that we love. This post is a celebration of a few random things I'm thankful for (in no particular order). It's fun to think about and I'd definitely encourage you to make your own list:

• A child's laughter - I don't have kids yet, but there's something really cool about hearing a child laugh--it's simply pure and contagious.


• A cute dog who's happy to see me come home (yes, he really does smile).

• Good drivers


• Coffee breaks at Starbucks


• "The Office"


• Sunshine


• A cute guy smiling at me - Because the dog is nice, but this is even better... :)


• Peppermint gum


• Disneyland


• Will Ferrell - my favorite is probably the SNL cowbell skit...LOL every time.


• "24" - Because no matter how hectic my life may be at times, I am not Jack Bauer trying to save the entire world from terrorists or nuclear attacks.


• Actual letters or cards (instead of bills) in my mailbox - A few weeks ago I actually received a homemade card from a friend in Alaska with a really nice note--made my day.


• Bootcut jeans - Because skinny jeans don't work for women with curves.


• www.pandora.com - My own custom (free) radio station? So cool...


• Blueprint magazine - I like a lot of mags, but this new one is awesome. Style, do-it-yourself cool, design, entertaining ... I love it.
