As Thanksgiving day gets closer it seems an appropriate time to reflect on everything that I'm thankful for. I know I'm lucky in so many ways for everything that I have in my life, but it's hard sometimes to not just take it all for granted. It is nice sometimes to just sit and think about how lucky I am to have the life that I have.
I am thankful to have a roof over my head. I'm especially thankful that that roof happens to be a really great house that I absolutely love. And that it includes over 4 acres that allows us to keep our horses with us and will someday contain a barn, an arena and pasture. Someday.
I am thankful that I have a truck that I love so that my long commute is that much less annoying. It's a good truck and it's never given me problems (knocking on wood now). Love the Cummins! Lately, I've also been really thankful for the butt warmers it has! They are the best thing ever on a chilly morning!
I'm thankful for our horses. They keep me sane and provide some of the best company and entertainment a girl could ask for.
I'm thankful for Cheyanne, the cutest puppy dog ever. Even though she's a total spaz sometimes and likes to eat horse poo and then try to lick your face.
I am thankful for a job that I enjoy and makes all of the above possible.
I am thankful for an amazing group of family and friends that are supportive, encouraging, can put up with me and are just darn good people.
I am very thankful for the boyfriend who loves me no matter what. Who shares my dreams and interests. Who challenges me and keeps life interesting. Who lets me have my space and still be myself, but is always there for me. Who puts up with my random obsessions and does his best to pick up the slack around the house when I can't keep my nose out of a book long enough to do the dishes. Or fix dinner. Or pee. Though he can't really help me with that last one.
I am thankful for all of the doors that have opened for me and allowed me to get where I am today.
I am thankful for egg nog lattes. And flannel sheets. And down comforters. And the boyfriend's bbq'd flat iron steak. And the Twilight Saga. And Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother. And diesel prices coming down to less then $2.50/gal! And a good margarita. And hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps. And Mexican food. And Stovetop Stuffing. And AE jeans. And fleece yoga pants. And the macro setting on my camera.
I'm sure I could go on all day, but I think I'll stop there. What are you thankful for?

My list is so way similar to yours! Although instead of egg-nog latte, I would have to say egg-nog chai! Oh yeah! Funny though, sounds like you were reading my mind. Whenever I reflect on what I'm thankful for, it always includes my animals, supportive husband who still allows me to be independent (good thing!), family, house with property (count my lucky stars every day), job that allows it, sunrises and sunsets, changing leaves, Christmas movies on ABC Family, car that gets me around (also knocking on wood)...so much to be thankful for EVERY DAY! Hope you have a GREAT Thanksgiving!
