Gratitude - Day 30 (aka I DID IT!)

I made it! I blogged every day for a month and I'm fairly certain I came up with 90 different things to be thankful for (I think the daily blogging is a bigger accomplishment, to be honest.) I should have saved the most special or meaningful thankful things for today but that's not how I roll. The final list will be 100% me -- very random.

1. I'm thankful for See's dark chocolate buttercreams (the ones with the vanilla centers.) I love that you can eat two and be pleasantly satisfied. I also love that See's sells them individually so you can get your chocolate fix without the guilt associated with buying an entire box.

2. I'm thankful for the movie "Elf." You seriously cannot watch that movie and remain in a bad mood. It's physically impossible. If you don't believe me, just try it the next time you're sad or angry. And then quote it along with me:
  • The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear
  • You stink. You smell like beef and cheese
  • I'm in love, I'm in love and I don't care who knows it!
  • Son of a nutcracker!
  • This place looks like Santa's workshop. Except it smells like mushrooms and everyone looks like they want to hurt me.
  • I love you. I'll call you back in five minutes.
  • Smiling's my favorite (Kim's favorite)
  • You sit on a throne of lies (my favorite)

3. I'm thankful for people who read and comment on my blog. Yes I blog first and foremost for myself but it's nice to get feedback from you, my friends (both real life and internet.) Pretty much everyone who reads my blog has had some sort of positive influence on my own life and for that, I'm so very grateful. I am some kind of blessed girl. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Impressive! Glad you made your goal. Also, you are entirely right. Elf Is amazing! I probably shouldn't have, but I could not resist buying Elf for only $3.99 on Black Friday.
