Gratitude

It seems like when the month of November rolls around you start hearing all about gratitude. I often think that we should focus on it more than just one month out of the year. I think because the holidays are quickly approaching, we need to take a step back from our busy lives and be grateful.

I thought I would list some things that I am grateful for. Please keep in mind that some may seem silly but I am truly grateful for them. :) They are in no particular order.
