A couple years ago, I celebrated my 30th birthday by giving thanks for 30 things. As I turn 32 today, I thought I would record 32 things I am thankful for this year (in no particular order).

- Sammy
- Excellent public libraries (free books and DVDs!)

- Conversations with my dad that cover everything from politics to sports to current events
- Pumpkins
- Singing every word to a Dixie Chicks song while I'm driving
- Sunday conversations with my family
- My collection of everyday photos with Project 365

- Books
- Organizing (my apartment, my craft supplies, my work schedule)
- Wildflowers in the spring
- Vacation planning
- The Austin office, especially my fellow writers and Michelle
