One more - I am thankful for people who still flash their brights to warn you of a cop in hiding up ahead :) Had that happen to me recently and I slowed down just in time - wish I could thank him/her! :) Thanks for writing this - we forget too often to be thankful for this stuff! :)
Loved it Sunshine ! We certainly do have a lot to be thankful for. Voted way up.
Now your evil plan comes into focus..lol. I am glad I could help in the making of the list and thanks for including my link to my hubpages. Glad to see my Boston Baked Beans made the cut....as well as libraries....being a stay at home dad....having a cool wife and HubPages and the HubPage followers.....very cool list and very good idea to include some of your followers....pretty impressive hub...that I gladly voted up, interesting and funny.
Thanks again for a wonderful Hub and helping me to remember all the little things that I'm so grateful for everyday. FUN, FUN, FUN!!!

@Thomas ... I revised #10! LOL You are too funny!!! :)
@drbj ... You know me too well :))

Still LOVE the other 79 though...lol
Thomas
Just looking out for you Thomas, didn't want to lead you in the wrong direction! Thanks for sharing your "thoughts" :)
We do certainly have a lot to be thankful for, sometime we forget kust kow much
I loved your list and had a good giggle at the last one.
What a great list - I was so excited when I came up with the baby toes comment! I just couldn't wait to get back on to the computer to tell you! LOL
What a great list and great reasons to be thankful. Thanks for adding some more sunshine to the day! :)
Hi Rosemay! I'm glad you liked #80 ... not mine reason but it's a goodie!
Hi Barbergirl ... your baby toes was a HIT! Way to go girl...thanks for sharing! :)
I beg to differ with #50 - my hubby found the "miracle" of "Just For Men". He's only 45. I find it both hilarious and sad. Our bathroom decor has nearly been destroyed. Dye stains on the rug, tank cover, towels, Ugh. He's worse than a 5yr old! :p
I'm thankful for.....the 'Sunshine' in my life!! ;o)
What barbara said, no seriously this is a great hub, I agree with just about all on that list. I was happy to participate and thanks for the mention. Great hub sunshine:) ge

LOL Bryan! I've got your back, I would have requested another reason ... Sneaky Sunshine :)
We have an abundance of things to be thankful for if we just stop and think.
80 fabulous reasons for being thankful, my 3 favourites are 51,67 and 41.
I love your list and 80 is so funny!
Lots to be thankful for :)
Wonderful, uplifting idea, Sunshine! I love to make a 'thank you' list in the evenings before I go to sleep. It is amazing how this little 'ritual' helps with creating a positive, optimistic mindset! And, best of all, it means that I wake up in that positive frame of mind the next morning. Well worth the effort.
Hi Sunshine,
So glad I could ad my two cents :) Great list and great reminders that there is so much to be thankful for.
Sharyn
This is such a great list and it is so uplifting! You are very inventive and the list is a reminder of all the thing we should be grateful for.
Since I am terribly tired in the mornings I have one; I am grateful that I wake up in the morning, because the opposite would be worse
Tina
Very true Pamela :)
Thank you MM for picking out your favorites! Those were great choices!
RSusan, a Thank you list is a wonderful idea! I hope your list continues to grow each day!
Hello Sharon, Thank you for adding your two cents, they enhanced the list! Always the creative one :)

Hi Sunshine, I too am thankful for #73, a perfect life! I'd say for the extra hours of sleep, my husband leaves early for work too, and he's a magnificent snorer, so I am thankful for those additional hours to stretch out and get restful sleep too!
As is my stepdaughter Deborah-Lynn.....enjoy your restful sleep :)
I do have lots of reason for thanking you. This hub reminds me on how thankful I am of the things and people around me. Thank you.. :)
Lots of things to be thankful for!!! Great reminder. :)

Anamike...I got some help from friends:)
Brian...to pimp is to share:)
I'm thankful for my fellow hubbers!
I would be very thankful if i had all those reasons.. i guess a few would be enough.. or maybe even one for some
Great hub! I am thankful for all the caring family and friends I have. Its true, you don't know what you have until you lose it.
Very true sabrani! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for reminding me to be thankful all year!!!
Extraordinary hub!
We all have some common reasons to be thankful but some are special and different from one another. I am very much thankful for being the youngest in the family because it is somehow a special experience of life which I cannot express in words other than offering my thanks to all who make my experience a special one.
Being thankful for all we have is something we don't do often enough and should.
Well, that made me feel happy, and what fun! I find looking for all the things to be grateful for is very uplifting to me when I am tending to focus on what I don't have that I'd like to have and feeling frustrated by it.
Also, beautiful video!!
A nice hub to look at when you're feeling down in the dumps. Voting this Up and Awesome.
Kelley ~ Shampa ~ Woodamarc ~ alocsin ~ Maraiya .... Thank you all for sharing your reasons to be thankful!
Cool hub Linda,found it on Pinterest. It really works!
It is amazing how even the best of us often overlook the obvious joys of life that are right in front of us, to chase the unknown. Being thankful has never gone out of vogue, neither will this hub. Nicely done, Linda.
Princesswithapen

Sunshine,

Thanks for your caring nature and your friendship.
Fun read, thanks Sunshine! A good reminder to keep gratitude as the context of your life. There's always something to be thankful for, no matter how bad things get!
