In honor of Thanksgiving, I wanted to do a post where I list just a few things I’m incredibly thankful for. Now, I know that pretty much everyone does posts like this around this time of the year, but I think that it’s important to keep remembering everything that we have to be thankful for, especially with all of the crazy stuff that has been happening around the world. I encourage you to sit down and do the same. It really puts things in perspective and always makes me feel better. So, here we go!
- My family: Despite all the ups and downs we face, they’re always for me no matter what, and I’m so incredibly grateful for that.
- The close relationship that I have with my family: I know a lot of people who, for whatever reason, does not like or have much to do with their family. I’m lucky enough to have a good relationship with most everyone in my family, and it means a lot to me.
- My boyfriend: I really don’t know what I would do without him. Just like my family, he’s always there for me when I need him, and I know he would do absolutely anything for me. I’m very lucky to have someone like him in my life.
- My boyfriend’s family: They’ve been very supportive of our relationship, and I’m so happy that he is able to enjoy the same close relationships with his family that I have with mine.
- My faith: Probably more than anything else, I am eternally grateful for my faith. It was the reason I was able to get through depression the first time around, and IÂ know it won’t let me down this time.
- My friends: Through losing certain friends, I have come to realize how incredibly special and important true friends are. They are a really amazing blessing.
- My blog: I love it 🙂 I’m forever grateful that I have a place to go when I’m feeling particularly stressed, happy, anxious, excited, sad, etc.. It has made a huge difference in my life lately.
- Every person who has visited my blog: Seriously, thank you so much! It really means so much to me, and I would gladly do absolutely anything I can for you guys.
- My health: This is something I think so many people, especially me, take for granted, but it really is a blessing to have good health.
- My family’s health: Kind of going off of that, I know some people who are spending the holidays in the hospital with their sick mom, dad, grandmother, etc., and I really can’t imagine how hard that must be. I’m very grateful that everyone in my family is healthy and home, and I hope that those that are not have a speedy recovery.
- My counselor who has helped me through some really rough times: My counselor is an absolutely amazing lady. I’m not sure where I would be today if it wasn’t for her.
- My ability to go to college: Sometimes it’s easy to forget with all the homework and studying just what a privilege it is to go to college. Many people never get that opportunity, and I really am grateful for it (even though I don’t show it as much as I should).
- I have a place to live: This is something else I definitely take for granted, but there are so many people that don’t have a home to spend the holiday season in.
- Safety over Thanksgiving
- My dogs: Love my puppies 🙂
- The support I’ve received from my family: Over Thanksgiving, I had a conversation with my aunt who offered me so much support and love when it comes to me and my boyfriend. I really can’t describe how much it meant to me.
- The volunteer program I recently got accepted into at the local aquarium
- The amount of free time I’ve had recently to pursue different interests
- The college group I’ve started attending and the way they have made me feel welcome and included
- My country: Even though it can be a little crazy at times, I’m forever grateful that this country is still my home.
- The soldiers putting their lives on the line and being away from their families in order to defend my country: I know multiple new wives (I don’t know any husbands, but I’m definitely sure there are some) who are not spending their first Thanksgiving as a married couple with their significant other because they are off defending the country. I’m very grateful for their sacrifice.
- The public service people who keep us safe: All of them put their lives on the line as well to protect us, and I’m thankful for all they do.
- I have enough money to provide for my needs and then some
- The chance to start over in a new apartment in the Spring
- My relatively good grades this semester: Definitely needed some good grades to boost my GPA a little.
And that’s my 25! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!
This made me happy whilst reading, and I needed that. When the world seems tough, just remember what you’re thankful for 🙂
