So the trend on Facebook yesterday was making lists of things that you are thankful for. And I have to admit that I kind of like the idea. So here is what I am thankful for this year, in no particular order.
1. The fact that I am alive to celebrate this holiday. I am breathing fresh air, I am sitting here surrounded by family and amazing food. It is truly a privilege to be alive.
2. My husband. I could not have asked for someone better to spend this life with.
3. My family. I wouldn't be who I am without them.
4. My education. Not just what I learned, but the experiences I had while I was there. I wouldn't trade those people or those memories for anything in the world.
5. Skype. And its amazing ability to keep me connected with the people that I love so dearly. Especially today.
6. Christmas Music. Enough said.
7. My grandpa's homemade cheesecake. There's nothing like it.
8. My artistic ability. Being able to express myself the way that I can truly helps me to be a better person and I will always be thankful for that.
9. My teachers. Past. Present. and Future. The way that you all have shaped my life is irreplaceable.
10. Fruit Snacks. Thats all.
11. Traditions. Old and New.
12. My wedding pictures. Those memories can never be replaced.
13. My sisters. I've always wanted a sister. Now I have three. How could I ask for more?

24. The mall at Christmas time. There's nothing like shopping at Christmas.
25. Elf. Its not Christmas without it.
26. Hot Cocoa and all that comes with it.
27. A beautiful home to live in. Its more than I could have ever asked for.
28. Technology and its ability to keep me connected to everyone that I love so much.
29. Pictures. There are so many memories that I would never want to lose and pictures hold those memories close forever.
30. Rainbows and the promise they hold.
31. My job. Frustrating as it can be, Im thankful for it.
32. The sound the jelly jar makes when its opened for the first time.

50. The fact that Jesus loved me enough to save me, when I don't deserve it.
Thats my top 50. There are so many more I could list. But this time of year always makes me think of what is important in life. Being close to the ones we love, because we aren't sure how many more tomorrow's we will have. This is truly the most wonderful time of the year.
I hope you have enjoyed this Morris Moment... until next time.
