Happy Thanksgiving! Here’s What I’m Thankful For:

I like to make “Thankful Lists” each year around Thanksgiving. A Thankful List is a reflection on the year and resembles a Gratitude List (but it’s a long-term focused list opposed to the here and now). To create your own, all you have to do is look back at the year and think about what you’re lucky, thankful, and/or astonished to have. 

  • My family and pets making it out of their home before it was enveloped in water this hurricane season and  having a place to stay even months afterwards 
    • All of my friends who had to evacuate are all okay 
    • My dad gave me a place to stay after all of the weirdness the storm brought 
  • Finding/Having a loving, caring significant other who loves me unconditionally 
  • All of the new friends I’ve made and the old ones I’ve kept 
    • Shoutout to Amanda- one of my oldest friends and one I pray that I keep forever
