Sarah had me think of 27 things to be thankful for since Thanksgiving is the 27th this year. Wow, there are so many things to be grateful for, it is hard to limit them to 27. This really got me pondering all the amazing blessings Heavenly Father has given me - from big to small. I could have gone on and on. Thank you, Sarah, for the great suggestion!
1. Darin's gentleness, patience, and back rubs
2. Sarah's smile and long talks with me
3. Megan's hugs and desire to spend time with me
4. Matthew's snuggles and animated face
5. Jacob's fish kisses and fascination with how things work
6. water to drink and swim in and shower in-anytime
7. aquaphor for my chapped lips and skin
8. warm fuzzy blankets
9. the rest of my family's love and support
10. the sound and feel of the ocean
11. Bach - inspiring
12. laughter
13. red, ripe strawberries
14. good friends
15. sitting cat-like in the sun by a large window
16. the gospel of Jesus Christ
17. gardening - even pulling weeds
18. my sense of smell
19. the piano
20. a comfortable home to live in
21. knowing how to read and having books available
22. hymns - comforting and uplifting
23. sweet, juicy oranges
24. a car to drive
25. birds at my birdfeeder
26. springtime

Great list! I do not know how people lived without Aquaphor. I seem to find a new use for it almost every day.
Isn't it great what counting your blessings in such specif ways does for your spirit. I'm with you Kim, it would be hard just to pick 27 and stop there. God is so good to us!
P.S. You (kim) and the rest of your lovely family would surley be on my grateful list. Love you all. We'll miss you tomorrow as we chow down.
..... and I am thankful for YOU dear Kim. I have loved every minute of getting to know you and count you as one of my greatest finds here in PA.
Beautiful post, Kim. I'm just getting around to checking the Thankful Posts. We (Dave and I) count your family as a cherished blessing.
