No, I don't mean make the extravagant turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pies meal every day. I mean having a grateful attitude. Isn't it just the best when you sit around the table and say what you're grateful for? It seems like for one day, everything is right in the world. There's a moment of peace when we all really reflect on what we are grateful for. That no matter what our circumstances, we have lots of things to be grateful for. We are all blessed in one way or another. Isn't that awesome? But really, I feel like we should be this grateful EVERY day. I think we're all a little guilty of it. I know I could definitely do better. I guess I should clarify that I'm not meaning when people put it on the interenet for their friends to see, but just in general, in our own personal lives. Whether that's through prayer, or writing it in a journal. All of these are great. But, since I haven't been very good about it, I thought I would lay it out there. I have lots to be grateful for. So I better get started.
First and foremost, I am most grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ, and my Heavenly Father. Without them, I would be nothing. Literally. They have given me all of these things that I am blessed with in my life. Because of them, I have a purpose in my life. I know my potential and what my final goal is. What is better than that?
Secondly, is my family. My two wonderful parents, and my three amazing brothers. I am the LUCKIEST girl to be a part of this family. I can't even explain in words how much they mean to me. I am also so grateful for the beautiful women they have married who always help them be the best they can.
Third, my friends. The ones that just laugh at me when I make a fool of myself(which is more often than not) and still want to be seen with me in public. The ones that let me spill my guts to them and tell them my worries, and fears, and will comfort me no matter what. The ones that I just love being around and we could literally be doing anything and we would find a way to make it fun. I appreciate you being a part of my life.
Lastly, I am grateful for my education. I love that I have found what I love to do. It makes it so easy to wake up every morning. I love that there is always room for me to improve and learn new things. This has been a huge reason why I am much happier in my life, and I love that.
I am so grateful to be alive. And to be able to share this life with so many wonderful people and experiences. I mean really, what could be better?
Happy Thanksgiving!
