Lots to be Thankful For.

Another Thanksgiving has come and gone. Thanksgiving for me, in prior years, is just a day to eat and eat and eat. For the first time in a very long time I am finding myself truly thankful for everything I have and everything I am as a person. Perhaps it's because I don't come home as often as I used to or because I'm growing up, I have no idea. But here are a few things I am thankful for, in no particular order. 

-My family, including the crazy ones. 

-My friends. God do I love all of you, so much. 

-My wonderful boyfriend, of course.

-My health. 

-My heart, without it I wouldn't be feeling the feels right now.

-My mom and dad. 

-My English teacher, Jeni. I don't know another college professor that makes me WANT to go to their 9am class every single Monday, Wednesday and Friday without hesitation. She just found out about some pretty bad health issues.

Last but most certainly not least,

-Mike Wolfe. I have had the pleasure of knowing this man since 2004 and I can not even begin to describe the impact he has had on my life. On Tuesday, I found out he has terminal cancer and is spending his last days at a cancer clinic in Madison. 

Please from the bottom of my heart, take a minute out of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and pray for Mike, Jeni and both of their families. 

Here's to all of you. God Bless. 

I just thought of a tradition to have with my own family when the time comes, each thanksgiving at breakfast before we start eating we will go around the family and share what we are thankful for that year. Perhaps writing them down to see how we change as a person and as a family throughout the years.
