something cliche about thanksgiving.

Besides the usual things like family, friends, work and shelter that I normally am grateful for, here are some of those random things I think about each day that I'm grateful for. (However that does not lessen the amount of gratefulness I have for those every day things--they keep me going through life and I love them very much!)

I'm grateful that my computer has lasted this long. They say lap tops only last a year and mine has that beat! I hope it lasts for a llllonngg time too.

I'm grateful for my car. Yes I've put more into it than it's worth, but it's good not to have a car payment. Soon it will take me to visit my nieces and nephew very often :)

I'm grateful for Grandma Jackie. She has taken me in like her own grandchild. I love to see her almost every Sunday. She is one of the reasons I have grown to love Sundays! And she always makes sure I have a family to spend the holidays with. I will miss her a lot!

I'm grateful for my blankets. They're so cuddly!

I'm grateful for the beauty of Utah. I wake up every day to a perfect scene. When it's cold and snowy, it looks beautiful doing it, and when it's cold and not snowy, it looks even more beautiful.

I'm grateful for a temple incredibly close to me that allows walk ins. It has become a huge blessing to me. Anywhere else in the world, I wouldn't have been allowed to do so.

I'm grateful for this past year. I have learned more this past year about character, about myself, and about people than any other year of my existence.

I'm grateful for institute. I will never have the privilege again that I have had this past year with institute. I will miss it terribly.

I'm grateful that I get to be home for Christmas this year. Oh so grateful. Like I want to cry I'm that grateful.

I'm grateful for my carhartt. I love it! It keeps me so warm on these freezing cold nights.

I'm grateful for the people I work with. I have so many good examples in my workplace, and the people I work with all get along well. They are amazing hard workers and amazing friends.

I am grateful for the people in my life who put up with me. I'm very odd. Sometimes people even try to understand me. I'm grateful that some people just accept me and decide to live with me.

Oh when should I stop this list? There are so many blessings I have in my life!! Uno mas.

I am grateful for the happiness I can feel through the gospel of Jesus Christ. I love life :)
