11. Freedom- and our troops who make that possible
12. Our community workers- doctors, police, firefighters, and all of the other people who work to make our lives better
13. Diversity- so blessed to live in a place that celebrates our differences
14. Transportation- including airplanes and the ability to visit far away places and loved ones
15. Hope for the future- so many possibilities

25. A comfortable bed
26. Trader Joe’s- yummy AND affordable

Being thankful is a conscious, daily act, rather than just something to think about once a year on Thanksgiving. What are you thankful for?
So many things but at the top of the list: my family and friends - so you! <3 <3 <3
