Everyone is thankful for friends and family and health and stuff like that. Here are some non-obvious things that I am thankful for because they make life easier or more comfortable or simply bring me enjoyment:

* Public Libraries
* Hanging file folders
* Online banking and bill paying
* Ziplock bags
* Down comforters
* Crossword puzzles
* Hand-me-down furniture
* My own washer and dryer
* Space heaters
* Disposable cleaning wipes (I know, but they're so convenient!)
* TiVo
* Safety pins
* Excel
* Chai with sugar and milk
* Fizzy water
