Thankfuls: Day 2

1. My Family: I have the best family. Wonderful parents, beautiful sisters, fun brothers and nieces and nephews. We always have so much fun whenever we are together. I love laughing and being loud with my family. I am so thankful and blessed to have a family who loves me. I miss them so much!

2. In-laws: I really do consider them family just like today's #1 but I did want to make a special thankful just for all of my in-laws. My siblings married terrific people who totally belong with our family. Meric's family is so wonderful too. They have accepted and love me. They truly make me feel like I am part of the family. I am so thankful to have all of my in-laws as part of my family.

3. Heating pads: There are certain times of the month where I am SO thankful for heating pads. They really help when I am uncomfortable and in pain.

4. LARGE parking spots: One of the vehicles I drive regularly is a big truck. I am so grateful for when I can easily pull into a large parking spot. It seems like a lot of parking lots are full of tiny parking spaces that make you nervous about door dings even in a car so I am very thankful for those large ones.

5. Flowers: Whether they are wild flowers on the side of the road or flowers given to me by my husband, I love flowers. All the colors and wonderful scents make me smile. Here in Kentucky one of the highway exits that I use regularly had hundreds of sunflowers growing next to it during the summer. Every time I passed that exit I couldn't help but smile.

6. Fireflies: Go outside at dusk during the summer and nature will give you a light show. It is so beautiful and peaceful watching fireflies. I am thankful to be able to live somewhere that can enjoy fireflies.

7. Air conditioning: After this past summer I would be remiss if I didn't mention air conditioning in my list of thankfuls. When the heat index gets ugly I am very thankful I can stay cool.

8. Cast iron skillet: I have a perfectly seasoned cast iron skillet. Everything turns out wonderful every time I use it. Cornbread is my favorite thing to bake in it.

9. Good toilet paper: Rough super thin toilet paper sucks!

10. Chocolate: Sometimes you just need chocolate to make things better. I love the variety too!
