Mom's Thanksgiving Challenge ... It's on!

I got an email from Mom this morning, where she "dared" me to write down ten things that I am thankful for. I took that dare, and I more than doubled it. Here's my list (in no particular order).

I am thankful for:

• My family (including my wife, children, parents, siblings, grandparents, in-laws, extended family ... this should count as WAY more than one thing!).
• My friends.
• My membership in the church.
• The gospel.
• Spiritual experiences.
• My job.
• My home.
• My health.
• My mobility.
• My sight.
• The ability to feel things.
• My voice.
• Music.
• Guitars.
• Exercise.
• This beautiful world we live in.
• My education and my ability to learn.
• Experiences, both good and bad, that mold me into the person I want to be.
• The ability to sometimes see things for what they really are (it doesn’t happen all the time, but when it does it sure helps).
• The scriptures.
• Animals.
• The comforts I enjoy, like A/C, a house, a bed, a car, etc.
• The fact that at any given moment, I can find something to eat or drink.
• My church calling (sometimes).
• The cultures of the world (foods, music, languages, etc).

Thanks for the idea, Mom!
