25 Will Stretch You

So, I have noticed over the past couple of weeks/months that there have been a lot of posts on my friends blogs about things that they are thankful for. It is probably a sad thing to say, but I am too busy to notice those things. I don't just happen to notice how thankful I am for random things throughout the day. So, this morning, I decided to spend some time thinking about things that I am thankful for. As you can imagine, there are some things that are on my list that will not make sense to anyone else, but I don't care, because it's my list.

25 Noticeable things that I am thankful for right now. (not in any order besides how I think of them.)
