Being thankful

I have to admit, doing these grateful lists feels...corny to me. It feels like I am forcing it at times. But, it does get me thinking of the good things and that can't be all bad, right? Maybe it is a "fake it until you feel it" thing. I am thankful for Brian who makes me laugh (SAHWEET!), my workplace for letting me go home early on Monday, Perry Noble's podcasts (NewSpring church), my Mom for celebrating with me when things go right (and a million other things), and Jeff who reminds me that 40 degree temperatures are warm compared to North Dakota!
