Gratitude

I don't think most of us stop often enough to think about how grateful we are for all of the wonderful things in our lives.

That is the reason I signed up for the 100 Things I'm Grateful For swap on swap-bot.

At first I thought it would be difficult to actually come up with 100 different things but it was easier than I thought.
