Ecofriendly, Sun Mess
1. Grateful to God and all who help me get through a day
2. Grateful to green stuff like new dream I mean green house from YMCA and Vintage Ohio gift basket
http://www.winthedreamhouse.com/
The main-floor kitchen, decorated in shades of brown and green, is equipped with Zodiac quartz counters (more eco-friendly than granite), bamboo and glass touches that go well with the Jenn-Air appliances. There's a custom walk-in pantry, a built-in hutch cupboard, tile floors and, one of the more unusual touches, a pull-out Sharp microwave oven drawer.
3. Grateful that Sun Messenger was able to print this

Sac China glove
Hyehloo family!
I have arrived in Shanghai and am about to go out on my first day of
adventures! The flight was long, but I slept like a glove. The city looks
much more modern than any Western city I have been to. It is all
skyscrapers and neon lights (but not trashy, Las Vegas-style neon).
I am staying right by two large Buddhist temples in the Western part of
the city. Today I will go to People's Square, Mao Zedong's former
residence and the Bund, which is the famous area along the Huangpu
river. At night, Wei Wei, her husband and I are going to a traditional
Chinese Kunqu opera.

Word of year history
I thought the history of the words of the year as described by wikipedia was very good to know.
Merriam-Webster's Words of the Year, a list published annually by the American dictionary-publishing company Merriam-Webster, features the ten words of the year from the English language. This list started in 2003, and is published at the end of each year. At first, Merriam-Webster determined its contents by analyzing page hits and popular searches on its website. Since 2006 the list has been determined by an online poll and by suggestions from visitors to the site.
As of 2008, only two of Merriam-Webster's Words of the Year were already dictionary entries at the time they earned their status (democracy in 2003 and integrity in 2005). 2004's Top Word, blog, was added later. The words for 2006 and 2007, truthiness and w00t, respectively, have not made it to the traditional Merriam-Webster printed dictionary as of 2008.
The Words of the Year usually reflect events that happened during the years the lists were published. For example, the Word of the Year for 2005, integrity, showed that the general public had an immense interest in defining this word amid ethics scandals in the American government, corporations, and sports.
The Word of the Year for 2004, blog, was looked up on the Online Dictionary the most as blogs began to influence mainstream media.
In 2006, Merriam-Webster received a lot of publicity as truthiness, a word coined by Stephen Colbert on The Colbert Report, topped the list.
