I don't want to come across as ungrateful, but I really don't like making lists of things that I'm grateful for. I think many people feel the same way. It's because there are those big and obvious things that you feel like you need to point out that you're grateful for or otherwise you're pond scum (and not only point out in general, but point them out first!). But it's annoying to say the exact same things that everyone else said. Also, there's oftentimes too many to list. Having put it out there what a Scrooge I am, here's my list.
- our Christmas tree - even without decorations and only half a strand of working lights
- my husband - who doesn't feel very good right now yet is still so so good to me
- my children - 'nuff said
- my camera - I don't love the camera, but I do love the pictures that I have from the camera
- my sewing machine - same thing as the camera, don't love the sewing machine itself, but I love what it enables me to do
- the view from my house - I don't think anyone has a better view year-round from their front door than we do...BEAUTIFUL!
- BYU - love that place and what good it's done in our life
- Ragu Sauce - I love that sauce
- cough drops - at least I can get some sort of relief for my throat
- the Gospel - life is hard, good thing we have the gospel
- everything that goes with the Gospel - Jesus, Heavenly Father, Plan of Salvation, etc.

I'm thankful you're a Scrooge about some things because you make me smile!
I hate Ragu sauce... I think that's why I always thought I hated spaghetti when we were growing up. It's homemade all the way in our house!
