I love Thanksgiving. I love the spirit of gratitude, the happiness, the families, the food, the everything. I also love how it gives me the opportunity to be something other than the extraordinary complainer that I can be sometimes(although I'm working on it).
I'm thankful for a lot of things this year. I'm thankful for...
the gospel. I'm thankful for my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I'm thankful for church, prayer, the scriptures, and for the close relationship it's possible to have with the Savior.
my family. I'm so blessed...I have the cutest, sweetest little sister any big sister could ever ask for. I have two of the coolest brothers on this planet. Seriously. And I have wonderful parents. I love that we're such a close family.
the basics. I'm going to school at a great university. I live in a good apartment with wonderful roommates. I have food in my cupboard (usually) and a laptop. I have awesome friends. I have clothes and shoes. I'm healthy. I'm proud to be an American citizen.
the not-so basic, extra blessings. I'm grateful for all the little things that kind of enhance my life and make it even better. Things like ice cream from the Creamery, Christmas music, and pumpkins. I'm thankful that I had a place to go for Thanksgiving Break, that I found that $10 bill in my purse, that places like Costa Vida and Panda Express exist. I'm grateful for french fries. I'm thankful for Celine Dion, the Harry Potter books, and that i got accepted into the Madrid Study-Abroad Program. I'm thankful for the french toast I had for breakfast this morning. I'm glad I got to skype with my family today. I'm grateful for all these things and if I went back and listed all the little things that made life great over the past year, this post would be endless. So let's just leave things with a general, "Yes. I'm blessed. And I'm really thankful for those blessings."
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! :)
