Sunday Gratitude 100 things

Today marks my 200th blog post and so I've decided to list 100 things that I'm grateful for, since it is also Sunday and Sunday is Gratitude Day. These are in no particular order, certainly not ranked according to some "grateful" scale.  They just are as I have thought of them. (I'd have listed 200 since there probably are 200 things I could be grateful for, but 100 was all I could come up with right now!)
