With Thanksgiving just a few days away, I think it's important (as it is everyday) to talk about what I'm thankful for. I realize it's a little cliche, but a little gratitude doesn't hurt, right?
1. I'm thankful for the many opportunities that lie ahead of me. Although it's stressful and scary, I'm so fortunate to have options. I feel like I will be able to put my education to good use and hopefully help a few people along the way.
2. I'm thankful to have the ability to drive to Flagstaff whenever I want to see my friends. It's hard having my best friends two hours away, but if I really want to, I have the funds and car available to head up there for the weekend, or even just the night.
3. I'm thankful to have friends. I've had my same best friend for 17 years. We met on the first day of school in 1st grade. I showed her around because I had been at that school for kindergarten. Over the years, we have remained best friends, but we've also made other friends along the way. Some of them we haven't kept in touch with, but others, like our college friends, I know will stay in our lives for a long time. They're my biggest support system (alongside my family) and we can have fun doing nothing. I love that.
4. I'm thankful for my family. We've had a pretty perfect family. We stayed strong through a really rough time, and relations have changed, but we're getting through it.
5. I'm thankful for having healthy food. Through my capstone project, I've learned how many people don't have access to food, and especially healthy food. There are so many repercussions to eating bad food. I'm happy I have the choice to eat healthily.
6. I'm thankful for both of my jobs. I adore being a nanny and could not have asked for a better family. While I don't love my 2nd job, it's money in a time of need and it won't last forever. I'm glad to have the choice to quit or not and not be tied down to something because of the need for money.
I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and finds a few things to be thankful for as well!
