Lists Are The New Black

10 things to be thankful for according to a nine-year-old:

1. That you are alive
2. Your boyfriend or girlfriend
3. The things you own
4. Your home
5. The people that take care of you
6. Your job
7. Candy
8. That you can cry on someone's shoulder
9. Family & friends
10. Starbucks 

I think we can agree that she has a good head on her shoulders.  The fact that Starbucks made the list reassures me that I must be doing something right with this whole nanny gig.  And I don't mean to make assumptions but the barista did ask if we were sisters so that means I'm smart too, right? 

"The more you are thankful for, the more you attract things to be thankful for."
