I'm grateful that the power came back on. I'm grateful for the cd of the Mormon Tabernacle Chior and Sissle.

I'm grateful for the amazing cooking of Polynesian women; in my experience you can't starve with Polynesians around, they tend to be so warm and loving and generous. I'm grateful for the Nutcracker ballet. I'm grateful that I have the opportunity to hear a Nobel Prize recipiant speak tonight. I'm grateful that I've thought about what things I'm thankful for this month, it has really helped to put things in perspective and realize how blessed I am.
