Eleven things in my life that bring a feeling of gratitude to my heart:
1. Lee--My Husband
I am grateful that we have had 38+ years of marriage. Our marriage journey has been an eventful, blessed, and never boring adventure.

2. Children--Our sons are fine, Christian men, who have brought us great joy (and only a few sleepless nights). I treasure them for the children they were and the men they have become. I am grateful to them for the support they have given their Dad and me as we have faced my husband's serious illness the past two years. I also appreciate and am grateful for the wives God chose for my sons. They are precious.
3. Grandchildren--What more can I say! GRANDCHILDREN! One of God's greatest blessings!
4. Books--I enjoy reading. I am amazed at the tremendous variety of books available in an increasing array of genres. A visit to a bookstore for me is a delicious treat!
5. Mexican Food--Nothing like a plate full of spicy food covered in cheese and salsa! Yum!
6. Starbucks--A reward I give myself as often as I can. What do I have to do to get the reward? Well, I'm the one giving the reward, so I get to set the standard. It can be a variety of things, like successfully completing the grocery shopping, remembering to put gas in the car, having enough money in my purse to afford a frappuccino--you get the picture!
7. Rain--I would be ever so grateful for just a little more. The long-awaited showers we have received are great, but our parched yard could certainly use just a bit more.
8. Bible Study--I had the most wonderful experience tonight with some absolutely fantastic women as we studied together. I can't wait for next week. Thank you, Lord!
9. Home--I appreciate the home we have that satisfies our very unique needs. It has been a blessing that came with perfect timing.
10. Travel--Lee and I have taken some terrific trips and had some amazing travel experiences. I cherish the memories of those fascinating times.
11. Computers--Well, let's see now, how does my computer bring gratitude to my heart? Oh Yeah! The means to blogging--Where would we be without it!
I could go on and on, but we were asked for eleven so I will stop now. Ladies, have a nice day and enjoy finding more posts at Seeds From My Garden and My Many Colored Days.

What a great Gratitude list! I can relate with you on each one. It is such a blessing and joy for me to share with other women like you.
I am a retired educator of 20 years. We are definitely true kindred spirts here.
I wish for you a day filled with love and laughter!

Myrna, I enjoyed reading your whole list but especially got a kick out of the mexican food one and starbucks one! Blessings on you.
What a wonderful list! I'm especially in tune with the Starbucks one. Who needs a reason for a visit??
I love your list - can't relate to the Starbucks, though, since I have never caught the love of coffee - or even like!
Have a great day full of gratitude!
Cute list. It made me smile to read it.
Wonderful list of gratitudes :)
We share many of the same!
A wonderful list I can relate to, even the Starbucks!!
It's hard to stick to just eleven isn't it? We definitely love Mexican food over here.
I, too, love Mexican food--although it doesn't always love me. So wonderful to have a heart full of gratitude that sticking to just 11 is hard to do.
Thanks.
Thanks for sharing your blessings with us!
If the lists were longer than 11 I would have put rain and computers as well.
