What are you thankful for?

During the holiday season sometimes we forget to actually sit back and think what we are truly thankful for. Every November, I like to sit down and make a list of everything I am thankful for within that month and through-out that year. My family lost a very special member of our family this past summer, so this year writing what I am thankful for is even more important to me than ever before. I write my “thankful for” list in my journal and compare them through-out the years. It is amazing to see how my list has changed through-out the years.

 Here is a preview of my list that is started:

November 1: I am thankful for my mother. She is my hero, being a single parent I know it had to be hard.
November 2: I am thankful for my brother. He is my best friend.
 November 3: I am thankful for my grandparents. I was blessed to have such amazing grandparents. My grandpa passed away this summer, so it will be our first holiday season without him. My grandma is a wonderful person as well, and I always enjoy our time in the kitchen together. November 4: I am thankful for my health.
 November 5: I am thankful for my job. It is a great job, and I am lucky to be employed.
 November 6: I am thankful for my whole family. I don’t know what I would do without them.
November 7: I am thankful for a roof over my head.
 November 8: I am thankful for my education, and almost being done with school. Having the opportunity to go to college is a blessing.
 November 9: I am thankful for my car.
 November 10: I am thankful for my friends. Some close friends who have been there for me no matter what and helped me
