in honor of the upcoming thanksgiving, i wanted to make a list of some of the things in my life that i am thankful for.

1. a loving God
2. an amazing husband
3. a wonderful family
4. a roof over my head
5. a bed to sleep in
6. never going hungry
7. electricity and running water
8. AC/heater
9. my health
10.having access to medical care and medication
11.having the choice to vote
12.having religious freedom
13.having freedom of speech
14.living in a country that offers education for all
15.having a job that i think is one of the most important jobs in the world
16.living in a very efficient society
17.beyond these things are "extras" in life which i am also so thankful for and my "extras" list could go on and on but i really wanted to focus this list on things that most of us in the US have, that much of the world doesn't. most of americans' standard of living is way beyond a LARGE majority of the rest of the world. happy thanksgiving.
