Thankful!

I was inspired by Courtney Molony to come up with a list of 100 (she's doing 1000!) things I'm thankful for.  I've worked on it for the past week and a half or so...some are silly and some are serious.  Yet regardless, "every good and perfect gift comes from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.."
