So Blessed

At this Thanksgiving season, I wanted to take a moment and write down all the many blessings and things that I am thankful for in my life.  I have been truly blessed and yet I sometimes don't acknowledge those people and things in my life that mean so much to me.  I'm going to list 30 things, but honestly there are so many things I'm thankful for that I could write an epic.  So, here goes...
