Thankfulness what does it mean? Expressing Gratitude for all you have

As thanksgiving approaches I sit here thinking about all that I am thankful for and all that I should be thankful for.
I am thankful for these blessings in my life:
1. My faith and testimony in Heavenly Father and his gifts.
(Even though I don't consistently attend church. I do have a testimony of its truthfulness)
2. My daughter and her blessings that she has given me throughout her life.
3. My mother who did her best to give us all we needed while she was alive.Her love for her granddaughter
4. My Friends who have helped me through out this year. With just a kind word or deed.(and a visit from Utah) That have expected nothing in return.
5. The place I have to live. It is warm and dry and keeps us safe.
6. A car that is running right now.
7. I have a job (where a lot of people don't)
8. My freedom to attend a church that I choose, I can choose my friends, I can read what I want to read.
9. I can vote for someone who I feel will do the best they can for our country.
10. My free agency to make good or bad choices.
Some of these are worldly but we should be thankful for all in our lives.
