i am thankful!

in honor of thanksgiving. one thankful for each day this month!

i am thankful for...

1. still being madly in love with my highschool sweetheart after 4 & a half years. we've been through a lot, but its been worth it all. i'm proud to say he's still mine.

2. having an amazing family, supportive sorority sisters, and friends i can always count on. i have chose to surround myself with awesome people and am grateful everyday.

3. having a roof over my head, food in my belly, shoes on my feet, and clothes on my back. i know there are so many people that go without one or all of those things.
4. having a job that i absolutely love! its not too often someone can be happy about going to work everyday.

5. my health. with all my usual difficulties; ear loss, having glasses, knee problems, crappy immune system, etc. lately i haven't been sick and my ear loss is at a stable rate! i haven't had a serious ear infection in over a year (which is INCREDIBLE!)

6. having the ability to notice things going on around me and being able to learn from others mistakes. it has helped me countless times and makes me appriciate the simple things.

7. having a passion in life. not everyone has something that they love to do. i'm glad i have a creative outlet; photography <3
8. my education. Luckily, the State of Missouri has paid for majority of my college expenses :)

9. my grandparents - they never fail to support my decisions, even if they disagree. i love them times a million!

10. bestfriends. (notice the plural). i have a long list of people who i could call at even given moment and they'll listen. even when im being ridiculous.

11. guilty pleasures. stupid reality shows & sweets (grandma taught me best!) :)

12. romantic love stories, whether its a movie or a book.

13. music, its good for the soul.

14. having a good head on my shoulders. so many people in this world, too many that I know, get lost in the hardships of this world & it gets them into trouble.

15. nature's beauty; a rainbow, rainy day, summer sunshine, winter's blanket of sparkle, autumn's warm colors, spring & birds chirping, freshly mowed grass, blue birds, baby animals, a waterfall, etc.

16. pj's. so comfy :)

17. holidays, which mean family time. i don't get enough time to see everyone and cherish every minute.

18. children smiling. it just doesn't get better than that.

19. seeing little old couples out and about. just melts my heart.
20. disney movies. they're timeless.

21. starbucks coffee - makes any bad day better.

22. humor, makes life worth while.

23. a running vehicle. knock on wood it stays that way haha

24. when old friends magically reappear in my life.

25. being an American. I believe this is the greatest country to live in & am so glad I wasn't born in some third world country where women are slaves or some crazy crap.

26. traditions - whether its family or cultural.

27. not being an only child. I would have been a spoiled brat.

28. Faith. God does awesome things and I try not to doubt his plans.

29. having some direction in my life. I know what I want, what I don't want, and still am making decisions everyday that will better myself.

30. that the pilgrims came to the America's and ate turkey. Thanksgiving is aweesome! I looovee turkey.


What are you thankful for? :)
