30 Things I Am Thankful For

A lot of people are talking/blogging about what they are thankful for this month/year, and are doing it over the span of November. I have decided to list 30 things I am thankful for in one post, as I am sometimes an impatient person, and I don't like waiting for the next day to come, before posting again. So, here is my list of 30 Things I am Thankful For.
