Thankfulness....a week later

So I know I'm seven days late on this one......but for anyone who knows me, that should seem about right.
Fact: We all have something to be thankful for. When we discuss the things we're thankful for it is usually only the generics that come up: God, salvation, family, friends, health, house, car, living in America, etc. So I'm going to take this time to list a few non-generic things in my life that I'm thankful for (but really I'm just bragging about all the little things that make my life so great):

1. the fact that my kitty cat, Skunkus Leonis, waits on me to get home everyday like a puppy dog
2. the way my classroom smells (Tyler Candle Company: Limelight)
3. the adrenaline rush after my coffee
4. my sweet students--the normal reaction when I tell people that I am a 7th grade teacher is awe. Truth: 7th graders are awkward and usually the worst behaved. Truth: Mine are AWESOME
5. my memory foam pillow
6. when I mention that my favorite candy is Reese's and I have kids (that I don't even teach) bringing me Reese's out of the blue for a week straight
7. when someone returns your smile
8. even better: when someone smiles at you first
9. the breakfast muffins a coworker brings to me almost every morning
10. slumber parties with my friends (yes, we are 25 and do it at least twice a month)
11. watching my flowers grow and knowing it is because of my care and attention
12. my bloodhounds' howls
13. wreaths (for all seasons)

23. the fact that my grandparents really do live over the [branch] and through the woods

32. my childhood summers with my Grandma, Kelly, Stephanie, and Mandy
33. post it notes--they're so much fun
34. the fair
35. hope
36. when someone tells me that I'm their favorite teacher :)
37. physics
38. Sunday mornings: getting ready for church listening to 92.3's southern gospel hour, actual church, and Sunday dinners (Southern for lunch)
39. Rummy
40. Tetris
41. that I found The Office....many, many seasons later
42. the tv show Lost
