    I addressed that whole "complain" thing on my blog today, too. I have no Christmas list, and have many thanks. MANY. I haven't made a list, but they are there.

    Wonderful list and yes a very good year indeed. We all need to be thankful like this, not just in November either. Let's strive to show our appreciation more often throughout the year. You do a great job of that online, that's for sure, brother!
    I think 2009 will be an even more amazing year with all the changes going on.

    Pai

    You are so right Pai. There is never a wrong time to be thankful.

    Thanks for sharing your list. And since you asked, here's mine:

    1. My husband - He's been the most supportive and loving person in my life. I don't know what I did to deserve him, but I'm grateful for whatever brought us together.
    2. My three dogs - I'm reminded daily to stop and enjoy the simple pleasures of life thanks to the canine crew. They don't need or demand much from me, but they give so much freely and completely. I've learned much from their companionship.
    3. People who have taught me lessons - Some of the lessons have been hard and I don't claim to like all these people (although there are a few that I love, trust, and value dearly), but I'm grateful to them and for the things they've taught me. I'm a better person because of all of them.
    4. New opportunities - Right now I'm starting a new job and moving back to my home state. While it's scary and stressful, it's also exciting and a chance to try new things.
    5. My family - This also includes in-laws, my "real" family, and those close friends who are important parts of my life. Whenever I need them, they also seem to be there.

    There is so much more that I'm thankful for. You get the general idea though, I'm sure.

    Jill,
    thank you and thanks for sharing your list with us. I forgot to mention my dog; I enjoy his company as well.

    Best of luck with the new job.

    I too am very thankful for all the above things, you make my life most sweet and I thank God every day for giving you to me.
