Things I'm thankful for (appended).

So I asked everyone (everyone being just 4 of us this year) to say at least one thing they were thankful for during our Thanksgiving dinner. Mom had 3 things — big, thoughtful and heartfelt things — that she listed. Dad dittoed Grandpa, and I added one to my previous list from last year. It wasn't too terribly inventive. Which made me think, gosh, I'm actually really thankful for a ton of tiny things that probably get taken for granted. That said, here's my appended list:

- Snail mail
- Giant plastic rings
- Extra space
- Baby announcements
- Anthropologie shirts
