Thankful

So, today was Thanksgiving, a holiday in which we should all take a good long look at our lives and remember just what it is we're thankful for. My list this year went something like this...

This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for...

My family, who always loves me unconditionally and supports all of my far-fetched teenage dreams ;) I am especially thankful for my fabulous mother, who has done an unbeatable job at caring for me and my sister, alone, for longer than I can remember. Sometimes it's stressful, but my mom has always been there for me and has really been the one to support me, especially now. I love my whole family so much!

My friends, with who I could not live without. Whether I need someone to make me laugh or someone to wipe my tears, you guys have all been there for me to see me through my brightest days and darkest hours. I believe each and every one of you was sent to me special from God, as my own guardian angels. Friends new and old, remember I love you all more than you may ever know.

New beginnings and second chances, both of which I have recieved in the most unlikely circumstances. It seems for the past year and especially recently, both second chances and new beginnings have come into my life, giving me opportunities I would have never thought possible. Both these baffle me every day.

Miracles, in which I do believe. The little things in life that just make you smile are really what make life worth living, after all. I thank God that I havn't forgotten to keep an eye out for these little things in life.

My own well-being, which God has blessed me with all my life. Good health, a place to call home, warm food every day, family & friends who love me and always will... Things we sometimes take for granted. I thank God for blessing me with just such a fantastic life.

This list may not be long, but it pretty much sums what I was thankful for this Thanksgiving, and each thing on this list means a lot to me.
Please, while you're eating your Thanksgiving feast today, remember the real meaning of this holiday, and remember to give thanks for everything you've been given.

God Bless.
