Friends who help me re-tile a bathroom
Friends who call to see how I’m doing
Neighbors who give me tomato plants
Friends who help me garden
Being trustworthy enough that some choose to share with me their pain

Strawberry rhubarb pie
Homemade bread
My Dyson vacuum
Clean floors
Being a night owl
Having the summer “off”
A car that runs
Going to buy plants only to find that they are half off or less
A new hard drive
Buying a printer at a yard sale for $5 that is also a scanner, fax, and copier Yes!
Friends who go to yard sales with me
Friends who surround and support my daughter as she begins a new chapter in her life by saying “I do” in two weeks

You have a collection of foxes? I have never known anyone that collects foxes before. Every morning (well, not EVERY morning-but MOST mornings) when I go into the very early shift (4:00 am) and I am traveling from my house down along the lake I see a fox come out and go across the road - always within about a one block area. That must be his/her(?) path! xo Diana
Wonder thanks list Holly. Isn't this the best therapy ever!!? My 1000 gift list is always about a week behind on my blog- Jonathan was here last weekend. I guess I should get caught up but this way if I goof off and forget to list I have some in reserve- is that cheating?

Holly, You just give me so much more to think about in my thankful and gratefulness that I have for each day that is given to me as a sweet gift from above.
Thank you for sharing and reminding me of all that I have and so much more.
Such wonder and beauty of gifts that we each are given.
I think I need to find this book that you all are doing and join in I see that otehr bloggers have this 1000 list as well.

Have a wonderful 4th of July
