1,000 Things to be Thankful For

So it has been awhile and I have been constantly thinking how I need to work on this blog again. I have been struggling with illness, a move, another move in the near future, school, and just life in general. My mom asked me on Saturday what I was grateful for and it got me thinking. Then I read an article in the Ensign titled 1,000 Things to Be Thankful For. This got me thinking of how long of a list of things to be thankful for can I come up with. So I got to work. I made a list myself and then I asked family members to give me lists of what they are thankful for. I will also be reaching out to friends. Today I am posting my initial list of what I am thankful for (also included are a few things my parents are thankful for).
