Thanksgiving 2012

There are several different reasons as to why fall is my favorite season. I love when the leaves start to change different colors. There is something about the reds, oranges, and yellows that just make everything seem so warm. I also love fall because most of the country stops and really thinks about what they are grateful for. I too have thought about what I am grateful for.  Here is my List: 1. I am grateful to have the church in my life. 2. I am grateful for my amazing husband, who loves and supports me 3. I am grateful for my mother, who teaches me every day 4. I am grateful for my father, who loves me unconditional  5. I am grateful for my brother and sister-in-law who are great examples 6. I am grateful for my two beautiful nieces who brighten my life 7. I am grateful for Gabe's family who always help us 8. I am grateful for my wonderful friends who are always there 9. I am grateful for my job 10. I am grateful for my education 11. I am grateful for my health 12. I am grateful for my little apartment 13. I am grateful for my car 14. I am grateful for my life

Looking over this list makes me realize that I really do have a lot of things that to be grateful. I am sure that there are many more. I have a lot in my life that others do not. I simply can't imagine my life without any of these things. For Thanksgiving this year, we will have a big family dinner with lots of amazing food and company.  For that too I am grateful.Not many individuals say that they can do that. Although, this is the time of year that we all start to think about and give thanks to the things that we do have, it should not be the only time. I know that we get carried away in the duties of everyday and don't really take the time to say thanks. But we should all take a little more time in our lives to be thankful for what we have.
