50 Things I am Most Thankful For

Happy Thanksgiving! Wow, what an awesome year this has been.

I am in awe of what can be accomplished in a short time when you set your mind to it, give God the keys and hold on for a turbo zoom style ride!

I could write a book on all of the things I am thankful for. I will write a longer blog post sometime over the holiday to document such.

However, for now this is my list of the 50 things, people, technology, blessings and more that I am most thankful for.
