Dear Cathy, I love your list! Thank you for the reminder to be grateful, especially at this beautiful time of the year. Sometimes I love the serendipity of life..... I just compiled a book for Vitamix, called Gratitude, including stories from folks around the world, sharing how the Vitamix machine has changed their life. We were delighted to see Vitamix Smoothies in your top ten! For me personally, it's also in my top ten, as I don't know how I'd start my day with my Vitamix and my green smoothies. They have changed my life! Thanks again for including Vitamix on your list. I'm grateful for the incredible people and company behind this product and for the opportunity to help them celebrate their 90 Anniversary in January. You've inspired me to post my own list of what I'm grateful for... so I'm off to compile it now. Thanks again for being such a bright light in the world. Hugs and thanks, Gail Ambassador of Inspiration http://InspireMeToday.com Author of GRATITUDE- 90 Years of Inspiration, compiled for Vitamix
