Thankful

Ok, so I am seeing all of these statuses on Facebook where people post something that they are thankful for each day of the month of November. I guess it doesn't always have to be something that happened that particular day, at least I don't think so, but who really knows? Not I.

Anyway, I thought I might make the posts for this month a little more interesting and try writing about something or someone I am thankful for and post it each day. Now it is already November 7th so I have some catching up to do. So this post will contain November 1st-7th.




November 1
I am thankful for my parents. They loved each other enough to give me life and have loved me enough to continue to provide a good life for me. They have always supported me and continue to do so as I now enter adulthood, make mistakes, find myself, and carry on this crazy journey.

November 2
As this day was pay day, I am thankful, and oh, so very grateful for the very fact that I have a job. With so many in this country facing unemployment, many of those being people I graduated with just 17 months ago, I am well aware of what a blessing it is that I have a job at all, let alone one I enjoy waking up and going to each day.

November 3
I am thankful for good friends who get you home safely, and tuck you in with a cold bottle of water...and then offer to move your car for you the next morning so you can sleep in ;)

November 4
I am thankful for creativity. Nothing warms my heart more than creating something with your own two hands and heart for someone, and seeing them smile upon receiving it.

November 5
I am thankful for patience. While I mentioned above that I love my job, it does not mean it isn't stressful. Teaching 8 children between the ages of 18-24 months can make your head spin sometimes, but I have the patience for it. For that, I am extremely thankful.

November 6
I am thankful for having the freedom and the right to vote. Acknowledge it. Appreciate it. Use it.

November 7
 I am thankful for puppy snuggles. When you don't have a significant other, and you've had a long, tiring day, sometimes that's just what you need. Unconditional.Puppy.Love.




And right now, I am thankful for my big, comfy bed.
