Twitter Challenge: #30DaysOfThankfulness

I don't have anything particularly insightful to say today.  I wish I did, but I don't.  I haven't written a blog post in a while though so I really thought I should write something today.  Sooooooo here I am!

I planned on sleeping in today, but that didn't happen.  I woke up at around 6:45.  I closed my eyes and played possum until 7:30, at which time I gave up and crawled my very reluctant butt out of bed. Now what was I going to tell you?  Ohhhh! That's right!

I wanted to challenge you.  I want you to take part in my friend Sam's twitter challenge.  I'm pretty sure she's the one who started this one (at least that's where I saw it) and I jumped on board immediately.  The challenge?  It's simple, really.  For 30 days straight take time out of your day to post on twitter or facebook one thing that you are thankful for.  Here are mine so far:

#30DaysofThankfulness (day 1): Today I am thankful to finally know where my father's cremains are. Knowing brought peace.

#30DaysOfThankfulness (day 2): Today I'm thankful for my education.  No matter how bad the economy gets, I get to keep it.

#30DaysOfThankfulness (day 3):  I'm really grateful this semester is almost over.  I still have a lot to do, but I could use a break :P

So what are you thankful for?
