The Count and Thank Rule

do not just count your blessings, 
be thankful for them.

Hence, this entry.  I think I’mma do this yearly. God help me, this is my first try.  Although I am thankful for a lot and even the littlest things, let me highlight the top 24.  Why 24? Because I turned 24 this 2010. *wink*
