Here is my last list of things to be thankful for in 2009...of course, I will be continuing to do this in 2010! I never thought I would get this far in listing all these things. When you really sit down and start to make a list you realize that you have so much to be thankful for!

He is there, in the depression and the anxiety. You are a lucky soul to know that, so many miss Him in the painful opportunities.
