I kind of randomized the list a little so that people wouldn't think I'm more grateful for some people than other people. Obviously somethings are more serious and some are a little more humorous.  But I am actually grateful for all of these things, whether they are necessities to life or just the little nice to haves that I am lucky enough to have.

Maybe I'll come up with some more...but I'm actually typing this on Thursday night and I'm tired.

Oh, and this post was inspired by Jenny Meyerson, she's having a gratitude link-up today so if you want more to be grateful for go check it out.

  1. Stopping by, via Jenny's blog, from Building On Joy. Love your list - chuckled at some of the things that I realized must be on there for humorous reasons. :) It's really wonderful to ponder the many things we have to feel grateful for - even the humorous ones! Have a great weekend!

    1. Thanks Becky! When I started this list I wasn't sure I would be able to make it to 50, but then I got there and kept coming up with more things to be grateful for.

  2. I'm from Olathe and so it always makes me smile to see a fellow Olathe person :)

    I love your list, and how you included the little things too! I'm currently working on mine.

    Have a great day,
    Jamie

    1. I have never come across another blog from Olathe! I have found a few from Kansas City and those are always interesting to hear a different perspective on the city I've lived near for over 15 years.

    2. I live in Independence now, but I graduated Olathe North 10 years ago (just typing that makes me feel old!)

  3. Great list, sometimes it is the little things that help us to be grateful for the bigger things.
    At the moment I have 3 sick girls so I am grateful for the tv, my old iPhone & my phone, giving us some quiet resting time.
    My eldest daughter is Anaya too.

    1. Until I met my step-daughter, I had never heard the name Anaya. We always get remarks about how pretty a name it is.

  4. Jenni - I love this. I just worked all day and am feeling so blessed with all of these gratitude posts. I love that you are thankful for Allegra and Air Conditioning. Totally agree. :)
    I love the variety of your list and it gives me such a nice picture of you and your family. Plain awesome.
    Thanks so much for linking up Jenni as this incredibly blessed me. I'm grateful for you.
