I'm a little late to jump on the bandwagon, but I'm jumping nonetheless. No month should be solely for giving thanks, just to forget the rest of the months, but this month the focus is especially on giving thanks, just because of the holiday it houses: Thanksgiving. I will write something I am thankful for for every day of the month that's passed so far.
1: I am thankful for my education. I've had the opportunity to graduate high school and get some college experience under my belt and it has made me grow up so much!
2: Im thankful for my religion. I've had my fair share of doubts and questions, but when it all comes down to the wire, I know there is a God in Heaven who cares for me. I know there is such a thing as angels and Heaven and a big brother of mine named Jesus Christ.
3: I am thankful for my mother. She puts up with so much from me and she still sticks around.
4: I am thankful for my father. He always knows what to say to make me feel better and he always makes some time for me no matter how busy he is.
5: I'm thankful for my job. It sucks sometimes, but there are a lot of good things to balance out the bad. Like the good money, job security, and days off.
6: I am thankful for friends. I've gone through lots and lots of friends in my life and very few have stuck. Those who have are pretty darn special. Especially when I have such awful friend skills.
7: I'm so thankful for missionaries. My family wouldn't be what it is today if it werent for those missionaries who helped guide my dad to the church.. My best friend is on a mission and is doing so great. I am grateful for the good examples the missionaries that I know are.
8: I am thankful for my house and my money. I'm not rich but I'm definitely not poor either. I have never needed anything and I have plenty of room to run around. Some people aren't anywhere near so fortunate.
9: I'm thankful for dreams. I said earlier that I didn't have any dreams or goals that are mine but I realize now that I do. I dream of traveling the world and I dream of making a difference, whether it be in someone else's life or in the way the world is. I look forward to doing that.
10: I'm grateful for authors who have imaginations. I love to pick up a good book and just get away for a while and if there weren't any people willing to write good books, I wouldn't have anything to read.
11: I'm grateful for those who are fighting for this country, for our veterans. Sometimes I'm not sure what they are fighting for, but if they know and they are willing to do it, then kudos to them. I'm just not that strong.
12: I'm grateful for technology. The ability to mindlessly escape to facebook or hulu are so great. Cell phones also help keep us safe and give a security blanket that I use constantly.
