"Keep quiet and say one's prayers-certainly not merely the best, but the only things to do if one would be truly happy; but, ashamed of asking when I have received so much, the only form of prayer I would use would be a form of thanksgiving."~Elizabeth von Arnim
For those of you who are wondering, this isn't strictly a list of things I'm thankful for. It's also a list of things that make me happy, things I like, and things I want to remember.
I explained more about the origins of my list here.
