things i am thankful for...

in the face of the terrible tragedy in haiti, it is of course most important to ask ourselves how we can contribute, monetarily or otherwise. but, perhaps, after that, we should remember for what we are thankful.

(ps--this is absolutely not in any order of importance--i have, in fact, scrambled the entries, and this will be added to daily...AND i don't know why it's doing the weird line spacing thing...)
