As I sit here with my stomach full to the point of bursting (three kinds of pie and cheesecake...I think I overindulged), a semi-sunburnt face from the 4.5 hour car ride home and my mom yelling at me to put my laundry away I realize I am thankful for a lot. And that I have a lot to be thankful for...but I may just take for granted.
I am thankful...
1) for my parents.
2) that I got to spend the weekend up North and bug Tony as much as possible. (You know you love it).
3) that my mom makes the mashed potatoes just the way I like them even though she rolls her eyes when I ask.
4) that I had time to sit on the kitchen counter, eating chocolates, drinking wine and have time to just talk to my mom.
5) for the three Thanksgiving dinners I greedily consumed this weekend. Yes...three.
6) that my shower has water pressure. It's a glorious thing.
7) for moisturizer.
8) for endless hugs and kisses from those that I care about.
9) that my Daddy still squeezes me so tight in a hug that I lose my breathe when I come home from school. I like being missed.
10) for the traffic on the way home because it let me spend more time with you.
11) that I am getting an education.
12) for the fact that more people than me don't know what they want to do with their life.
13) that I get to see my best friend more.
14) for Disney movies, hot chocolate, pillow talks, comfy pajamas, Christmas and ice cream because they won't let us grow up too fast.
15) that I found a housemate who can put up with my mood swings, obsessive compulsive behaviour and random dance parties in the hallway.
16) for every backrub you give me.
17) that my Mommy finished my laundry while I was away.
18) that I don't go out much because it makes those times that we do go out seem that much better.
19) for whip cream.
20) that your family made me feel welcome.
21) that I don't need to know proper English for a Science major. I have no clue what a pronoun is. It seems useless in life. Sorry.
22) that I enjoy one of my classes this semester. Otherwise I'd go nuts.
23) for my health.
24) that Fluffy will be O.K. It wasn't an eraser! It was a rubber door stopper...crazy cat.
25) that I have clothes to keep me warm...and if they fail I have someone to get blankets for me. I'm thankful for that too.
26) that I'm going to the gym more. It helps me to feel better about myself.
27) for my eyesight, hearing, ability to walk, talk and smell, and most importantly the ability to feel. Feel joy, pain, sadness, anger, sinfully happy. If you can't feel sad, then you'll never feel really happy.
28) that I have people who believe in me, because I rarely do. It's nice to know that someone thinks I can do it.
29) for the many options that are available to me in life. I am glad those were provided for me. Too many people don't have options.
30) that I'm alive and can experience life. It can be taken away too easily, or taken for granted. People never appreciate what they have until it's gone. I never want to be that way again.

THREE thanksgiving dinners?! woman, that's alot!
It's always nice to look back and reflect on what we're thankful for. We all seem to forget it throughout the year but at least we have a weekend where we can really think about it.
And I'm thankful i get to see you more too.
Loved this post! I'm going to take your cue, just like Trish did ;)
