As coincidence would have it, I decided a couple of days ago to look and see how many posts I had so far. My count was as 198. I missed my 100 post milestone, so I thought I should probably do something a bit special/different for post #200. Though, I think a larger milestone for me will be the 1 year mark.

At any rate, I was thinking that it would be fun to come up with 200 things I’m grateful for. Hopefully I can come up with that many without repeating any. The following are in no particular order. So, happy 200th to me!

Yikes! That was kind of tough. I guess I’ll already have a pretty good ‘thankful’ list come this next Thanksgiving!!
I didn’t give much explanation to a lot of items on my list, so if you wonder why I am thankful for something in particular, let me know… and I’ll try to explain.

Anyway, 200 posts. I can’t believe I’ve done that many.
Hey! Its better than any other journal I’ve ever tried to keep! Yay for blogging!!
