I am thankful.

I received a call today from a very good friend of mine who asked, "Is it your birthday...today?", to which I replied, "...what's the date today?..."

I realize that this month is my birthday month, but haven't kept track of the days. When my friend called me, all I could think about was the things I was thankful for...not the things that I wanted, although I already received a couple gifts earlier this month. :)

I know that it's not custom to do a 'thankful post' when it's not Thanksgiving, but I've realized in my latter years of my 20's that being thankful is more gratifying than being 'wantful'. It puts my heart in a happy place per say. :)

29 things I am thankful for. *since I will officially be the 'ripe' age of 29*

1. My savior Jesus Christ and all that he's blessed in my life,
