It’s been too long. I’ve had it in my mind to write this post since I published my first 50 Things I’m Grateful For… post last year. I kept finding cool things to blog about, and before I knew it, more than a year had passed. So here goes…
I’m grateful for (take 2)…
- my toolbox
- walking around in my bare feet (like I am right now)
- Metro Parks, Serving Summit County
- Christmas in July
- a safe community
- my home sweet home
- a warm bed
- Akron-Summit County Public Library
- fictional characters
- live music
- Big Red gum
- stopping to smell the celosia
- growing up in Timbuktu
- POTUS (the office & that anyone even wants the job anymore)
- swinging at a playground
- a freshly mowed lawn
- my gadgets (How did we live before smartphones and tablets?!)
- festivals & street fairs
- running shoes
- books, books and more books
- classic & muscle cars
- watermelon
- freedom
- trails
- notebooks (and cool felt tip pens)
- green olives
- green smoothies
- owning my own business
- a cold margarita and…
- hot espresso
- dazzling design
- tennis balls (Wilson, pictured above — my friend and idea generator)
- leg lamp cookies
- siblings
- Italian ice
- my strong platelet count
- being colorful
- fireworks
- paying it forward (and having it paid forward)
- water (fresh, salt, chlorinated or bath)
- peanut butter (straight out of the jar)

- things that make me laugh
- a Friday night at the drag strip
- good times
- my parents
- playing in the mud
- MacGyver
- figuring out who I am (again and again and again)
Alright, so there’s my second list of 50 things I’m grateful for. (If you want to browse the first list, here you go.)
Now it’s your turn. I would love to hear about what you’re grateful for! No matter how tough life gets, we can all be grateful for something. Share your list (however big or small) in the comments below, hit me up on a social network or tag me in your blog post. Cheers!
Grateful & blessed,
