Facebook "Thankful" challenge

This started out as a challenge on Facebook so I've decided to keep my list here to see how long I can really keep going.

The challenge
::Let's see how many people can do this. Every day this month, until Thanksgiving, think of one thing that you are thankful for and post it as your status. "Today I am thankful for...." The longer you do it, the harder it gets! Now if you think you can do it then repost this message as your status to invite others to take the challenge, then post what YOU are thankful for today.

11/11/09 Today I am thankful that so many men and women have served and continue to serve our country and keep us safe.

11/13/09
Today I am thankful that I have three healthy kids who can drive me crazy! (as they sit watching cartoons instead of getting ready for school)
