I looked up the song "Count Your Blessings" last night and it made me smile. I thought of you and your list.
"Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will keep singing as the days go by."
You must be smiling now.
I'm thankful for digital cameras and extra cards!
That I don't wet my bed like I did when I was little.
For a warm husband on cold nights (and warm nights too).
And... coffee.
Martha, you're too funny!
I am very thankful for your lists. I so totally agree with 118, 132, 139., oh yeah! LOL!! I'm thankful that Martha doesn't wet the bed now either, she can come visit and not rely on Depends!
