gratitude {the list}

as part of my attempt to focus on gratitude this month, i thought i would start with the basics...listing things for which i'm grateful. i will continue (randomly) throughout the month to see how long the list can grow. these lists will include anything from the *big* to the *small*, *important* to *not so much*. i'm sure this first list will be one of the longest.
