Today is Thanksgiving, a day we give thanks. Odd, a day we give thanks. It makes me curious as to why we need a specific day, why not give thanks each and every day? Nonetheless, I will join in the online postings of what I am thankful for.
I have many things to be thankful for and it’s hard to
narrow it down, but who wants to read a long post? So, my top three things I’m
thankful for this year:
- Family – I am extremely grateful to have the love and support of my family. I’m constantly changing and developing who I am and the process of that often leads to my next big, or small, adventure. Having a family that accepts and encourages me, no matter how many miles may separate us, to do whatever makes me happy is a blessing. This is my first Thanksgiving not at home and although I’m sad to be away, it’s going to make seeing my family in December that much more special.
- Experiences – I would not be who I am today without going through the experiences I’ve had. Life is a balance between negative and positive, both times of light and times of dark. Without my battles I would not know my strengths. As a result, I am developing a sense of me. I am learning who I am and what I believe in.
- Technology – Yes, I know, I said technology. I debated on this one for a few minutes and although I have a love/hate relationship with technology, I felt I had to include it this year. Living 16 hours away from my family and closest friends is difficult. I can’t just drive home after work nor have people over on the weekends. However, I’m a big fan of video chat, calling home, texting and emailing. My brother shows me his baby Alayna, on his phone as we chat. My seven year old niece is now texting and emailing me and I’m able to text and call everyone when I’m off work.
So that’s my top three, what does your list consist of?
Happy Thanksgiving!
