Many people, throughout the month of November, post daily on Facebook about things for which they are grateful. I am a fan of focusing on gratitude, but I thought I would do it my own way. There are some traditional ones, but I wanted to keep them unique too. Here is My Thankful List.

Random experiences. For examples, that moment you are listening to instrumental version of the battle on Beauty and the Beast and through the window on your back door you see someone climbing a ladder. You feel like you are in the movie for a moment, only to realize that is one of the guys working on the roof.
