Well, Thanksgiving is right around the corner. So much to do before it gets here! There's been tons of baking going on in my house before we head out of town to celebrate with the family! We've made caramel corn, peanut clusters, pies, cakes, cranberry relish, sweet potatoes, and there's more to come. I feel like Thanksgiving is slowly fading. While hanging out with friends today we wished basically everyone in sight a "Happy Thanksgiving" to which some replied with another cheery "Happy Thanksgiving to you too." Though the majority of those we called out to, merely responded with a smile and a "you too." Are we not allowed to say Thanksgiving anymore?? Oh well, they might have a good reason. On a happier note, I love Thanksgiving! For us, it always means spending time with the extended family, having a blast, eating plenty of good food, and remembering what all we're thankful for. I think too often our lives just get so busy that we forget to be thankful for things. The big things as well as the little things. So I decided to list things I'm thankful for. Of course family and friends are things basically everyone's thankful for, but how about the small stuff?
Things I'm Thankful For:
Family, friends, music, converse, piano, duct tape, summer, volleyball, basketball, cousins, watermelon, BBQ ribs, picnics in the park, jumping in leaf piles, going to the movies, shopping, hanging out with friends, being crazy, star tripping, star gazing, riding horses, mangoes, my favorite stuffed animal (yes I have one....don't we all??), my own room, facebook, hoodies, skittles, paper, pencils, a good book, sledding, building snowmen, ice skating, swimming, college football, cameras, pillows, my bed, dancing in the rain, jumping in puddles, bonfires, a full moon. And there's so many more! But I thought I'd just share a few (: If you think about it, there's so much to be thankful for.
