For washing machines. Having to wash cloths by hand is not my idea of winter fun, so I am quite happy that I do not have to.
For jeans. As long as one skips over the vanity of finding a perfectly fitting pair, jeans are the perfect marriage of simplicity and practicality.
For candles. And light in general.
For Saints Cyril and Methodius. Catholics tend to give them the non-existent end of the stick with a February 14th celebration, but I like Russian literature, and I doubt it would be the same without them.

Jeans, candles, washing machines and inspiration – sound like fine things to be grateful for
I too am thankful for washing machines! I’d give up my cell phone, my DVR, my microwave… but I cannot imagine hand washing EVERYTHING. Ahhh! Yay for washing machines! It is my favorite chore because I am sincerely so happy to live in 2010 and not have to wash my clothes in a stream with a board?! I would just not know where to begin!
Yay, I’m thankful for those things, but also for Cyril & Methodius! I love that you posted that. They’re patrons of unity, trailblazing missionaries of the east, and inventors of an alphabet. How much cooler can you GET?
