Lets Be Thankful!
11/16/2014
I am the first to admit. I love Christmas! I love spending time with my family, the gatherings, the corny commercials, shopping for loved ones, attending the Christmas Eve service. But every year, it feels like we skip another important holiday. As soon as Halloween is over, the malls and stores bring out the Christmas trees and start running ads. The radio stations start with the Christmas music. The holiday season can be stressful and overwhelming. For this reason, I feel like we need to take time and slow down to show appreciation of all of the aspects of our lives that we are thankful for! Be thankful for all that we have. So here is a list of ten things I am thankful for this Thanksgiving.1. My family, friends, and boyfriend.
2. My dog, Snickers.
3. My home with all the things that I need.
4. Good health.
5. The great school that I have at IUE!
6. Good mentors and professors.
7. A job that I enjoy!
8. My faith.
9. Wisdom that comes with new learning experiences!
10. Laughter, because without it this world would be a boring, dull, and lonely place!
Before we get all in the hustle of Christmas, lets take time to reflect on what we are thankful for and recognize everything that is going right for us!
