THANKSGIVING IS UPON US and you best believe that by Thursday at 8p.m. your Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and whatnot will be filled with snappy posts about being thankful for the family and siblings, and family dog, and leaves. While these are great, I think maybe we need to look at the little things that make our world go round and be more thankful for them.

1) The simple fact that your coffee (or beverage of choice) doesn't spill on places cruising at 400 mph.

I don't get it, but I love it.

2) If you aren't allergic to peanut butter, that you aren't allergic to peanut butter.

I personally would die from being allergic, because I would eat it.

3) Knowing your alarm clock will go off in the morning.

You'd be literally nowhere but your bed without it.

4) Headphones for you..and others.

We love them when we don't love your taste in music.

5) Thanksgiving itself

Because when was the last time you had a real meal? Easter? Family weekend?

7) Laundry pods

They give you the exact amount of laundry detergent! What a treat!

8) CBS and other cable channels allow you to watch their weekly episodes for free.

Yes I know there's Hulu, but I follow two weekly scheduled shows...and I'm broke.

9) If you have all 10 fingers, that you have all 10 fingers.

Take a second to really think about how much you do with your hands and how you'd have to seriously adjust if you lost a finger. Appreciate having all 10 fingers to type on your laptop.

10) The heat stoppers that go in your Starbucks cup.

Heat stopper or making your drink less spillable? Regardless, it's nifty, fun, and also doubles (triples?) as a thing to chew on.
