Giving Thanks

A non-comprehensive list of things for which I am thankful, in no particular order, here follows:

1. Spotify: so I don't get stuck in a music rut, nor do I have to think about how to find new music.
2. The election is over. (And I happen to feel good about the outcome.)
3. FB: so I can keep in touch with pals and family, regardless of where I hang my hat. 
4. Tennis balls: so I may massage my own feet and back anytime, anywhere.
5. 4th year med school: so that I have the opportunity to travel near and far, and meet so many new people.
6. Cake: which brings joy
7. Coffee: which also brings joy, sometimes in concert with cake.
8. A well-appointed kitchen: so cooking is both joyful and easy.
9. Google Hangouts: so I can see my friends who are also out traveling near and far during the 4th year.
10. NYC: for being it. And for still being there after Sandy.
11. Twisty scenic roads: for rollerskate fun
12. Corgidogs.org: which brings daily joy
13. Hospital lobbies equipped with pianos or harpists: because it's frickin' awesome to hear that at work
14. Museums: so full of cool shit, and I'm finally getting to see a bunch of 'em this year
15. Days without agendas: so I may have the freedom to loaf should I opt.
16. Sunshine: which is amply supplied this time of year, outside of the NW. 
17. Hotwire/priceline/orbitz/etc.: because travel is easy and affordable
18. Pho: for rainy day comfort
19. Residency interviews: for having any and for making me feel like I'm moving forward
20. The Mindy Project: because it is full of LOLs and is equipped with TWO hot guys (whose names I don't know)
21. The Safety Nest: which got me through the hell of 3rd year med school, and still persists via Google Hangouts. 
22. The freedom to vote, wear whatever clothes I want and to drive a car anytime/anywhere I please: because I've definitely met some women this year who do not have such privileges.
23. Unlimited nationwide long-distance: how did we ever not have this??
24. GPS: it lets me get anywhere I need to go, at any time of day or night, with minimal pains in my ass. 
25. Craft breweries: lest I be forced to sip Kokanee, Bud Light or god forbid, Natty Ice. Guh.
26. Finding what I want to do for the next 30 years, and feeling an innate sense of peace about it.
