Great list Amy, and you're so right, we all have so much to be thankful for. Even the mailman bringing the mail, LOL!
Have a wonderful day!
wonderful list!
we always forget to be thankful for the simplest(yet most important of stuff)
Happy TT~!
You're so right about the mail! And yes, you don't realize how important your car is until you don't have it. :)
Thanks for stopping by last week. I was hit by a monster cold, and didn't make it to all my visitors. I'm trying to make up for it this week by hitting them first. ;)
What a positive post! I LOVE it! I am glad there are others out there that are looking for the positives in life. Congrats on the adoption too!
Thank you for stopping by. I like the pear jellies too...I LOVE the sour ones, cinnamon, blueberry..well, just about any of them.
what a great list Amy!
I am thankful for so many things too! Today it was for a really good episode of LOST! Can't wait until next week!
Congrats on the adoption! That's sooo exciting. :)
My favorite 90210 season is senior year. :)
I almost did a list very similar to this one and changed it last minute. It was really nice to see yours.
A thoughtful list, thank you! By the way, I have a friend who is adopting from China and she is on her way there as we speak (left yesterday). It gives me goosebumps to write about it. I am so excited for her and can't wait to meet the little one! Glad you liked my TT and glad I found your blog! :)
Hey! I came here through the link you left me.. but I've already seen your picture once tonight... but this is a different list!! How weird is that?
I love this list and its a great idea. I think everyone should remember their lists every day. I might do that next week.
Awesome list :) Thanks so much for stopping by! I wish you the best of luck with your adoption. I hope all goes well for you. Sometimes I know I dont take the time to be thankful for all the little things that makes us who we are
J
That is a very nice Thankful list. I need to make one I think.
wonderful list - we do get complacent sometimes and forget about those little things that mean so much.
Thanks for stopping by! :O)
It's amazing how most of us relate in taking things for granted.
Great list :)
a great list... We really should spend time counting our blessings... then maybe the obstacles and difficulties won't seem so big...
I've been without a car for the last month and a half so I can relate to what a blessing it is to have one. You are right...there are so many things we forget to be thankful for.
Mail, never thought about it. Everyday things we seem to take for granted, huh?
My brother and his wife are in China now picking up their adopted little girl. Good luck to you! Thanks for sharing your list! Happy TT!!
Wonderful list, Amy! I think living in a state of thankfulness is one of the easiest ways to stay happy!
Today I am thankful for our local library!
Awesome list.
It is hard to remember to be thankfull for everything.
This list gave me such a pick me up today and I needed that.
Wonderful list and as always, thank you for dropping by my blog!
What a great list! Reading someone else's blog today made me thankful that I got to know Heather, the former children's librarian at our library in TN. She rocked. She was so great with the kids and formed great friendships with the mommy group:-)
Great list! I'm jonesing on the mail one. I live in a rural area, and they don't deliver everywhere. I have to drive to the post office everyday. Small thing, I know, but it can be a pain sometimes. Especially for someone like me, who won't leave the house without her makeup on. :)
boy 90210 really throws this list for a loop. though it was great overall. Its amazing how much we love our cars as soon as we first own one.
I've heard people gripe at how much stamps costs, but I say they are crazy! Where else can you send a piece of mail from Indiana to California and it only costs .39 cents?
I am thankful that even though the cost of stamps is going up, it is still cheaper to post it rather than drive it there!
Good luck with your adoption!! Thanks for visiting my TT. Stop by tomorrow for the trivia answers.
Wonderful list, and congrats on the adoption!
Great list. We all need to remember to be rateful. I find myself guilty of that too often. And thanks for stopping by my Thursday Thirteen #34 The 13 Things You Wish You Could Say At Work Edition.
I think I may join in this next week I have really so much to be thankful for
Great list Amy. I hope it won't be too long before you guys get to China.
Happy TT!
That's a great list.
Thankful lists are so uplifting, thanks for that!
great things to be thankful for!
Great list! thanks for stopping by!
Wonderful list! It is so easy to take little things (and even the big ones) for granted!

I think its so awesome that you're adopting! My husband and I've talked it because we know a few people, at our old church and our new one, who've done it. I hope it all goes smoothly!
Amy- nice list! Thank you for making me blog of the day, what a surprise when I came here to check out your 13. I am thankful for all the sites that I get to visit through yours.
I am right with you on the comfortable furniture. 22 years later we still have our first living room set which we just covered. The couch is an awesome couch to lay on when sick.
Have a great evening!
Worthy appreciations, life is good. Congrats on your adoption.
I love basset hounds. Maybe we'll get one someday.
Congratulations on your adoption! I agree with all of you: I am THANKFUL!
Congrats on your adoption. Great TT.
Oh, I'd love to own my own home! Definitely something to be thankful for!
Happy TT!
Wonderful list. Those are all great things to be thankful for.
Thanks for visiting!
Yes, Amy, you have a lot to be thankful for :) It's great your adopting from China. How cool is that? (Angelina Jolie will be tempted to follow, I tell you!)
Take care.
Nice list, it's good to remember what we have to be grateful about.
My TT is up, come by if you get a chance!
