What I'm Thankful For....

So, when this time of year comes around, it makes you realize how you have spent the entire year taking for granted your entire world. If you are anything like me, you then want to scream to the world each and everything that you are grateful for. My voice really isn't all that loud and if I screamed, a great many people would not likely hear me. But I really, really, really want everyone to know just how thankful I am, so here goes.....
