count your many blessings

my friend retweeted this the other day:
"What if you woke up tomorrow morning and only had the things you thanked God for, the day before?"

this, and the fact that Thanksgiving is in a week, has me thinking. i always make a list of the things i'm thankful for around Thanksgiving. friends, family, etc. but this time i'm going to make a list of the little things i'm thankful for. there are a lot. i probs won't think of them all. but i want to make a list for funzies. so, if you want, listen to this and read my list. it is every little thing i love and am thankful for. well every little thing i could think of.
  • christmas songs
  • driving around aimlessly
  • convertibles
  • swimming pools
  • rings
  • bows
  • nail polish
  • crew socks (preferably christmas socks)
  • big tee shirts. especially frocket tees.
  • chocolate. anything and everything chocolate
  • boys in bow ties
  • rainy nights
  • the sound of a marching band
  • music. almost anything. particularly U2 and anything acoustic.
