Thanksgiving Meme

On Thanksgiving, we all are grateful for family, pets, friends, food, and homes. That's wonderful. List 10 things you are grateful for that aren't on this list.

1. I'm thankful for cell phones, text messaging, blogs, instant messaging, email, and every other form of virtual communication. I don't know what I'd do without them.
2. I'm thankful for my job. I *heart* my job!
3. I'm thankful for the beautiful day today. I love sunshine without overwhelming heat and humidity.
4. I'm thankful that Slick, my car, still runs beautifully after almost 11 years (knock on wood)
5. I'm thankful for my education and for the fact that I have motivation to continue getting education (though I can't decide what I want to study next, so that might be a hindrance).
6. I'm thankful that I'm still a kid at heart.
7. I'm thankful that I'm not afraid to be Cranky!!
8. I'm thankful for all the women (and forward thinking men) who have paved the way for me to have what freedoms and opportunities I have today, and I'm thankful for those who are working to give women even more opportunity.
9. I'm thankful for my health.
10. I'm thankful for my wild, curly hair, even though we have a love/hate relationship with each other.
