My Favorite Things



My mom is having a drawing over at her blog: One Designing Woman.  All you have to do is make a post with a list of things that you are grateful for and leave her a comment about it.  She does give away good stuff so check her out.
I have always felt like one gift I have been given is the gift of gratitude.  My husband and kids might disagree but honestly very few days go by that I don't think about how thankful I am for things like:

1.  soap
2.  running water
3.  flushy toilets
4.  DW-Micro-w/d-deep freeze etc.
5.  grocery stores
6.  computers/internet/cellphones
7.  any and all modern conveniences

I'm really not being trite.  I think about these things all the time and thank my lucky stars that I don't have to haul water up from the well, visit the outhouse, send my mom her blog comments on the pony express or grow my own food.  In a nutshell I'm grateful that I get to be lazy. Thank you to the forefathers (and mothers) that made it all possible.

Awesome. I am with you...these things really do make our lives better in every way. Especially the electronics so we can be closer. It is just so nice to have you all a keyboard away. Take my dishwasher, my microwave...but please leave my iMac alone!

I love it by the way. I am pained when I have to go on a PC. I love the light behind the monitor.It makes it all so nice!

By the way I am about to snark your tooth elf post. Still laughing over that one! You are officially entered into the contest for thankful hearts.

Good things to be grateful for! I would have never made it as a pioneer!

Love the cartoon! Thank goodness for modern convenience. Not bathing for several weeks, except for (PTA touchups----pit, t--, and a---) on my mission taught me to appreciate running water, hot water, and clean water. Oh Ecuador! Loved that place though!
