Every year I seem to write a Thanksgiving blog, and it seems that every year I seem to write the same thing: I am thankful for everything and everyone. This is true, I am grateful for every aspect of my life, otherwise I wouldn't be the person that I am today, but this year, I've decided to pinpoint a couple specific things that I am especially thankful for.
I am thankful for...
- My health. This year has been an emotional roller-coaster for me. With a lot of perseverance (some may call it being stubborn), and hard work, I have managed to lose about 40lbs, and have been able to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I can't remember the last time that I have felt this amazing, and it's unreal. Besides my clothes fitting better, and me gaining more confidence, I've discovered a new me. Along with shedding the pounds, I'm getting rid of this dark cloud that has been following me since my early teens, and now I can say that my smile is starting to have more meaning.
- My family. We fight, we bicker, we have our different points of view on many subjects, but most importantly we love.I know that you guys will always be there for me, to support me with all of my endeavors and life decisions. I couldn't thank you enough for everything through out the years and the many blessings that you have provided me with.
- My friends (my second family). I'm thankful for all of you... You know who you are. Thanks to you, my life has more meaning. You guys have given me the ability to love everything around me. The moments that we share together mean more than you can ever imagine, and I wouldn't change anything about the years that we have spent together. I am who I am because of you...so thanks. I smile a little bigger when I'm with you
-The Little Things in Life.Books. The feeling of the autumn air on my face. Hair products. Music. School. The smell of a vanilla candle. Laughing hysterically with my coworkers. Receiving a compliment about my good customer service. Hearing a favorite song when I'm out clubbing. Walking to school from the train station. Exercise. Going for a run in the dark. Come home at night and looking at the stars. Car-rides. Going for coffee. Catching up with friends. Having the opportunity to travel. Finishing a good book. Watching and getting inspred by The Biggest Loser. The summer sun. Mom's hugs. Cuddling with blankets. Playing music loud and dancing around when no one is home. Getting dressed up and feeling pretty. Laughter.
Happy Turkey-Day, everybody. <3
