76. I am thankful for prayer. God answers prayers, hears prayers, and sometimes doesn't answers prayers. It is the fact that he listens to me that gives me comfort. I am a believer that prayers work.
77. I am thankful for flowers. The fact that something so beautiful comes out of the dirt, is amazing. All shapes, sizes, and colors. God's hands at work.
78. I am thankful for radio. I love listening to the radio, for no other reason than they pick the song for me. It requires little work for me and its free!
79. I am thankful for babies! Yes, I know they cry and spit up and poop. But they are so cute and lovable.
80. I am thankful for weekends. 2 days off to recover from the week and prepare for the next week. I don't think you could be a teacher without weekends.
81. I am thankful for true acceptance. I am glad that there are people that accept me just the way am I, and love me for being me.
82. I am thankful for blogs. I love writing on mine and reading lots of others. I actually created this blog in 2005, when I was in college. But it took some inspiration from my friend Kendal for me to get it going right and to figure out how to use it. Thanks Kendal!
83. I am thankful for memories. The good ones with my aunt and grandparents and the bad ones that I don't like to talk about. They all make me who I am today and allow me to never forget the important things.
84. I am thankful for presents. Not for me (even though I do like getting them), but more than that I LOVE TO GIVE THEM. Especially when it is for no reason at all.
85. I am thankful for our puppy Jake.
87. I am thankful for book stores. It is like its own retreat. I could stay for days especially if they have a coffee shop. I think I could just live there forever.
88. I am thankful for bath and body works. I know this one is a little crazy. But I have always loved this store. When I was 11 or 12, bath and body works was something only in the big city, which I would visit once a year to spend a week with my best friend Emily in Raleigh. It was a must that we went to this store while I was there. Still love it, my favorite are the holiday fragrances.
