50 Things I’m Thankful for: A List (in the order in which they pop into my brain)

As said in the title, these are in no particular order, but rather in the order that they popped into my brain. Some will probably be profound, and some will probably be really stupid. And I’m probably going to steal some from 1000 Awesome Things (one of the best websites ever- I'm serious, please check it out, it will make you feel so good about life). This was suggested by a commenter who thought I should make sure to mention all the good things in my life. And he was so right. I have a wonderful life, and despite all the things that make it difficult, I am so grateful for so much (much more than this quick list). So, I hope that this shows at least to a degree, that I really am happy : )

1. Kittens and Puppies- no joke, they make my life better, and The Cute Project and Lolcatz literally bring me joy.
2. Biondo!- The pet dog that lives here (my Italian house mom’s dog). The sweetest baby boy ever. I can’t believe I’m going to have to leave him! I love him so much
3. My Momma and Daddy (aka Nana and Papa)- I don’t know how I’d get through a day without them
4. My “baby sister”- she is a constant reminder that a person can survive anything and I love her
5. My real life family- despite my mother and my up and down relationship, I don’t know what I would do without her. My father is a wonderful man and a great dad, and my older brother is hysterical and I love him so much.
6. My friends from college- What a great group of girls
7. All the people at my university who I consider my friends but in reality aren’t in like my “circle” that I always call, but whenever I see them on campus we talk for like 2 hours in the middle of a street or outside the library and they just make me feel like that place really is my home
8. My friends from home- My friends for life, I can’t imagine the future without them; no matter how long we go between seeing each other and how far apart in the country we are, it never matters. They are my besties and I love them.
9. Fail blog, FML, and Texts from Last Night
10. Spanking :)
11. Music and my iPod
12. Being in Europe (duh!)
13. Having been able to travel so much in my life, that I’ve seen the majority of Europe at 20 years old
14. Being 20 years old and having most of my life (hopefully) still ahead of me
15. My ex boyfriends
16. All of my friends in the spanking community- you are a pillar of support and such wonderful people- I am so grateful to have found you
17. The entire spanking community- ya’ll rock! We are a generally great group of people, and I don’t think that’s something all fetishes can say
18. Shadow Lane
19. Television- I’m not joking. I freaking luuuvvv television :)
20. Joss Whedon

22. My accapella group at school

44. The new lingerie shop Intimacy that opened at home that actually sells pretty bras in my size!
45. Being a woman
46. Having clean water when I turn on the tap, and all those simple things in life that we always take for granted

PS. So I was just looking up the links for all of these sites (and of course got sucked into reading all of them) and first felt pure joy and laughter and happiness from 1000 awesome things, then intense when reading PostSecret, then laughed out loud so hard at Texts from Last night and Fail blog, and then just about died of cuteness from The Cute Project and lolcatz. Please enjoy responsibly :) Princess Kelley nor Confessions of a Spanked Princess can be held liable for you wasting time, procrastinating or getting thoroughly obsessed with one of said sites.
