Thankful list!

Since it is going to be Thanksgiving tomorrow I thought I would make a list of some of the things I am thankful for. I did this with my kindergarten class and got some great answers! Here are my "Thankful things"!

1. the way a new book smells
2. Bubble baths
3. electricity that works (this has been a problem lately)
4. lighting candles for fun and not necessity ( because the lights are out again)
5. sitting with my friends and having deep conversations
6. good coffee
7. The smell of coffee brewing
8. listing to my kindergarteners laugh
9. phone calls from friends and family in America!!!
10. singing to Christmas music (I have been doing this for tree weeks now!)
11. new sweaters in bright colors
12. New hair cut that I really really do like!
13. buying my fruit from a vendor on the side of the road
14. remembering the Russian word for the fruit I want to buy
15. reading good books that are honest and talk about deep heart issues
16. hanging out with the senior girls
17. Reading books with Ethan and Elliott (and maybe a little wrestling too!)
18. fun scarves
19. new movies
20. my family in C.A.
21. my sweet sister who is amazing!!! and quite fun to!
22. my beautiful mom - I want to be like my mom someday
23. My dad who makes me laugh (and feel loved) when he sends me e-mails typed in all CAPS!
24. having my kindergarteners sit on my lap and just talk (it is very interesting!)
25. Having friends who challenge me, take care of me, and laugh with me
26. new recipes! (ones that I can actually make here in C.A.!)
27. sun shine
28. dancing around and acting silly with friends who will join in!
29. duct tape (it really is amazing - right now it is what is holding up my shower curtain rod!)
30. that even on the worst day, I know that Dad called me here and is changing me to be more like Him and that I will never be the same.

Just so you know, these are in no special order! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving full of fun and good things to eat.
