Thanksgiving - do people really give thanks on Thanksgiving? Do we know what Thanksgiving still means? A lot of people don't remember the "reason for the season," so to speak. I don't mean to sound so predictable, but we forget that we should be giving thanks everyday, not just a couple of days a year for holidays. I cant judge because sometimes I forget myself. We get caught up in the excitement, family driving us crazy, the smell of turkey or ham (yum), and Black Friday. I love shopping that day. We should remember that we are shopping for the joy of seeing that special face open their present on down the road and being so excited. I love those faces.
I have so much to be thankful for this year, even through all the stress of classes and so much work to do with final exams. I love my family, my boyfriend (who has my heart), my friends, being able to go to school, for being alive and breathing, and the list goes on and on. I love laughing as much as I do and being able to smile about all the little things in life. I catch myself remembering strange little details in laugh and not even know I was thinking about them to begin with. I have so much to love and to live for and I have God to thank for all that He does. He is our rock and our strong tower in our times of need and times of pure joy!
So be thankful, everyday, and love as much as you can to get the joy out of life. "Live, Laugh, Love," I love that phrase, no matter how much it is used.
