Lots to Remember

This morning while I was driving in to the office, I was thinking about what I wanted to list for my gratitude challenge.  There were so many things that came to my mind.  So many wonderful things I have in my life that I need to remember and recognize.  So, here are a few things:

3. I am super duper happy to have indoor plumbing.  You may think it's a little dramatic, but rest assured, I remember using an outhouse when I was young and visited my grandmother.  Complete with the Sears catalog.  Which reminds me, toilet paper = happiness.  You don't think so?  Try using Sears a time or two and finding out.

4. Alarm clocks.  Yes, I have a love/hate relationship with mine, but I'm glad it's faithful to me every day and tells me when I need to be up so I don't have to rush around being late.  Of course, it also reminds me how much I love the Snooze button.

5. Forgiveness.  I so appreciate forgiveness.  Those friends and family who I have wronged, sometimes without even realizing it.  Thank you for looking past my shortfalls and remembering good intentions do count.  Even when I am an idiot and my actions do not always reflect those good intentions.

6. Athletics.  I am so grateful to have the ability to challenge my body with sports.  I enjoy sports - team sports and solo sports.  I am grateful to be able to keep my body strong (notice I did not say "in shape" - not there yet) and healthy, to have a way to reduce stress, and to know that I can outrun at least the slowest person near me in case of the zombie apocalypse.
