30 Days of Gratitude: Day Two.

Today's prompt is "what technology are you grateful for?" While I would really like to answer this with "cellphone and tablet technology", I will try to come up with something else. I started typing out the post and it just seemed trivial and a little dull. We are all thankful for our devices. They keep us connected to the world and our loved ones, and they let us access Pinterest which is almost as important as keeping up with your family. 

Okay, maybe Pinterest is only that big of a deal in my house. Cam and I both have a horrible addiction. Robbie has benefitted from it though.

Anywho, back to the topic at hand. I truly don't know what to pick other than devices. I mean, I'm grateful for coffee makers and stand/hand mixers. I also thoroughly enjoy the Internet and my Roku player. YouTube has brought my little family hours of entertainment in the form of toy unboxing videos (another serious addiction that all three of us will never be able to kick.) Beachbody On Demand is whipping my tail end into shape. Amazon and my Kindle app have allowed me to go broke and read countless books. Blog platforms give me access to the Pioneer Woman's posts which in turn feeds my family and gives me a good laugh (Ree Drummond is my spirit animal).

I guess I am just thankful for all of the above mentioned items. We are a first world family for sure. That being said, there is a lot that has impacted my life and allowed me to live as I do. You know, running water, electricity, indoor plumbing, heat and air units, automobiles, anything medical. All of those things that we in developed countries take for granted. I should really just say I am grateful for just about any and all technology and its advancements; because without it I'd still be living in a cave somewhere.
