What I'm thankful for:

clear blue sky winter days
when (most of) my family fits in one room, and we're all trying to tell jokes at the same time
candied yams
insulin.
the Pacific, the Atlantic, and the Mediterranean
border collies
Fridays
tuition remission
friends who like to travel, cook, dance, doodle, adventure
laptops, cell phones, and iPods (oh my)
the entire month of June, and October also
National Public Radio
talking about writing with my mom and my aunt April
San Francisco
health insurance, when it's guaranteed
the best, longest, most satisfying runs, the ones where you come home feeling more hopeful about the world
my big brother and his big grin
postcards from other countries and cities
digital photography
my dad, and how he knows how to make everything better, but then shows me how to make things better too
my white flowered comforter for the bed
the First Amendment
being in love, really in love, and not thinking it's cheesy

Being in love, really in love is a good one. A friend told me once that love is always worth it.

it makes everything better.
It was hard for me to write a list of things that weren't just people's names. that list would have been longer and more meaningful, perhaps.

I like your list. There are already people you can place in the list you've already made. I'm sure many of them fit in many different slots - like candied yams. I'm sure you have a friend who is like candied yams =)
