23 Good Things in My Life on My 23rd Birthday

1. My husband that loves me no matter what.
2. A starting family (ok, soonish)
3. My beautiful mother that is also my friend.
4. My amazing brother that is also my friend.
5. My hard working father.
6. [Finally] a job that I really like a lot.
7. Feeling like I know who I am.
8. A regular day schedule that gives me a regular sleep schedule.
9. An absolutely amazing group of friends that I can't imagine life without.
10. Intelligent and interesting characters to work with.
11. Financial security, despite student loans.
12. Two degrees behind me.
13. Sanity (literal sanity; I'm not totally nuts, believe it or not).
14. A place to live.
15. A way to get to work every day and a long drive with a good friend.
16. A cat that loves me no matter what and makes me feel better when I need to.
17. Friends from all over that teach me so many things.
18. A photography community to express myself in.
19. Some really amazing and adorable grandparents.
20. A fantastic uncle, so fantastic that Uncle can't describe how much he means to me.
22. Happiness.
23. Peace.

I didn't have enough years to number the things I'm thankful for. When I am old, old, old I wonder if I will have enough years to list the things I am thankful for. I don't think I will, because I will only have time to be blessed.

Some other things I am pretty thankful for: health and my camera (That's a bit materialistic, but hey, it is a fantastic camera.)
