54 Things to be Happy About

There was a talk in Sacrament Meeting today about gratitude, so I started making a list of things I'm grateful for on my program. (That's the whole point of programs, y'know: to provide writing space during our meetings.) Anyway, here's what I came up with:

• Excedrin (What can I say? I had a headache this morning.)
• my queen-sized bed
• my color-coded scriptures
• music
• musical talent in others
• Sonja, Drawly, and Sir Guy
• my car
• beautiful flowers
• good-smelling candles
• the Holy Ghost
• my job
• cream cheese
• alfredo sauce
• stars
• inside jokes
• friends who love and support me
• a cool breeze
• being barefoot
• good books and movies
• my hair dryer
• playing with small children
• the gospel
• lotion
• garlic
• contented snuggles
• massages
• thunderstorms
• working from home
• feeling useful
• glasses/contacts that help me see
  
• taking pictures
• feeling at peace with myself and my life
• my migraine medications
• drawing on T, especially during Sacrament Meeting
• music you can't help singing along with
• air conditioning
• noisily happy babies
• people who share my sense of humor
• psychobabble
• laying on a quilt in the back yard with music, a book, and the kitties
• forgiveness--for myself and for others
• colors
• the relief and wonder when a headache finally goes away
• examples that give me hope--proof that it can, in fact, be done!
• electricity
• crushed ice
• evidence that God is working in my life and interested in me
• trees
• being included
• strong opinions
• sleeping in
• sunglasses
• wearing high heels anyway
• getting things right
