50 things to be thankful for

I woke up this morning with a terrible headache and allergies. If you can call how I spent my hours last night sleep, I only got 5 hours of it. But today is the day to be thankful, and so, no matter how terrible I may feel right now, I know I am very very blessed beyond what I deserve. And, in order to put things into perspective, my sister and I made a list of our top 50 things to be thankful for:
