QotD: I'm Grateful For...

Let's make a list.  What are 20 things in your life that you're grateful for? 
Inspired by wyndslash.vox.com.

Oooh, a JUICY QoTD!!

1.  Aidan.  He keeps me going on so many levels.
2.  My job.  I'm starting to get into the groove and I really love copyediting/proofreading.
3.  My friends.  I don't know what I'd do without them.  They listen to me, they encourage me, they love me.  They teach me, they support me, and they want me to be happy.  That's amazing to me.
4.  Blessings.  Being able to travel.  Shelter, food, clothing.
5.  My independence.  I can drive wherever I want, I can worship the god I choose, I can be friends with whomever I want, I can say what I believe. 
6.  Education.  I can't imagine life before reading.  I don't know how I survived before I learned!!  And learning--I love learning.  Soaking up new knowledge, just because I can.
7.  Surprises in the mail.  Handwritten letters.  Packages from friends.  A card for no reason.  It all makes me smile.
8.  Wildflowers.  They're so pretty to look at.  I like them the best, growing in the ground, where they belong.
9.  Nag Champa.  That stuff smells SOOO good and it relaxes me.  Mmmm.
10.  Music.  It gets into my soul, and can mellow me out in a heartbeat if I need it.
11.  Internet.  Without it, I might never have met most of the most important people in my life today. (Ivy, Amy, Star, Mandy, Adam, just to name a few.)
12.  Mommy.  For always being a shoulder, an ear, and a big help.  For being loyal to me, and loving me.
13.  Lucy.  Lucy can be a pain, but she is the most loving, affectionate kitty ever.  She's my little girl.
14.  Tylenol PM.  Without it, I'd not be able to sleep most nights.
15.  My Laptop.  Computing on the GO.  Who can beat that???
16.  Debt Management Programs.  I am paying off my credit cards, and I cannot accumulate more debt.  Hallelujah.
17.  Chicago.  The best city in America.  Great food, great sites, great people.  I LOVE it there.
18.  Goodale Park.  My favorite park in Columbus OH.  It's near downtown, in the Short North.  The people there are friendly.  There are a lot of dogs who play with each other and with me.  Plus, the place is scenic and beautiful.
19.  Nickjr.com.  Sometimes, I just need a break, so I'll let Aidan play and play.  He's learning and having fun, and I'm getting some rest.
20.  Cuddling.  There is nothing like a good cuddle from a cute little boy, an adorable kitty, or someone else special to make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

All right, I'm getting hit with a storm now, so I'm going to leave you.  Later!

I'm going to put your letter in the mail this afternoon on my lunch break! :) And guess what? I stopped taking Tylenol PM. Of course it's been replaced by VALIUM at night, haha.
