I love this idea! Always makes us feel better to see what things we have to be thankful for and that make us happy! Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteFirst a very Happy Birthday to you!!!! I love lists and this is a great one! Isn't it amazing how the simplest things are what we love best!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I smiled throughout reading your list.
ReplyDeleteSo much to be thankful for, so much to love, so much to share. Happy, happy birthday, Deb.
ReplyDeleteIf only the people in #40 remembered #39. But yeah for #55! Happy birthday lady!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day to have a birthday, Deb. I didn't remember, and should have! Happy happy special birthday! I think it must be a good life if you can make a list of 57 things and have it be continued, too! FYI-I love peanut butter toast too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Deb - and that's a long list of wonderful things - a rich life, indeed.
ReplyDeleteHappy day to you!! I'm guessing no snow day or 3 hour early release ... so enjoy it as it is -- YOUR day! Hmm.. I love hot chocolate and I love peanut butter toast, but I have never combined the two! So much to love. Your list is fabulous! My birthday is coming up soon and I'm known for lists too... Deb, I hope you know you deserve to be celebrated every day, but I hope you celebrate BIG today!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I like this list idea! There are so many great things on here...no wonder you love them all! =)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! The ones about the sunrise and sunset are my favorites!
