Occasionally I need to remind myself of things I am thankful for, particularly on days when I am prone to complaining (i.e. today). Here is my list, off the top of my head, at 12:30 am:
--rain against my window
--bubble baths
--anything chocolate
--friends who make me take myself less seriously and look to Jesus
--poetry
--biographies
--television, particularly The Office (is that bad??)
--soft blankets
--lamplight
--my car, and the fact that it has not broken down since this summer
--hymns
--an amazing family who love me and love the Lord
--my brother playing piano
--photographs of people I love and miss on my walls
--books that remind me that the world is bigger than myself
--slippers and bathrobes and anything else soft and warm and cozy
--coffee in the morning
--hot tea or chocolate at night
--having more than enough to eat
--easy forms of communication (telephone, internet, even webcam!) with far-away friends
--having a job where I get to love children
--time to rest on weekends--even when it is not enough, it is a time to rest and for that I am thankful
I have not posted in a long time, mostly because I have been a little too overwhelmed to write. I will try to post more later, but in the meantime, please pray for me to have a heart of thankfulness for the blessings I have been given and to live for God's glory and not my own, to rest in his peace and not my own efforts.
GrATEful

you've inspired me to do one of my own. but i have to say you've made quite a list, and I'm so glad you like the Office b/c I would also have put that in my list! also, when you said webcam, I think we need to put that to use and skype soon!
