Gratitude list

As the first snow of the season is falling I am sitting inside sipping a warm mug of tea. Music is playing in the back round. I'm thinking of what I'm going to be doing over break, Thanksgiving being one of them. It's Thanksgiving so what do I have to be thankful for?

1. I am so grateful that I am lucky enough to be able to have the opportunity to start my day off right with English class.
2. I am thankful that I can listen to music. I love how if allows people to express themselves and relate to one another.
3. I am grateful for the books I have to read. These wonderful books give me something to do when I am not busy and allow me to travel to different places inside the pages.
4. I am very thankful for all of the wonderful movies that there are. Some movies hep us to laugh when we are down and other allow us to see what others are going though.
5. I am grateful that anytime I am hungry I can get a snack. I am glad that my family is able to provide food for me.
6. I am thankful for sweatshirts, there's always a sweatshirt to surround me in warmth and , make me comfortable.
7. I am grateful for all of the sport that I get to play, not just how they keep me healthy, but how I get to make new friends while having fun.
8. I am grateful for colors, it makes the world a brighter place to be.
9. I am an overachiever, so I would like to share three things I am thankful for at once, my legs for always (most of the time) supporting me , my arms for always being at my side, and my fingers, I know I can always count of them.
10. I am so thankful for my friends, they're always there for me no matter what, and I know that I don't just have to count on my fingers, because I can count on them.

There's a lot of things in this world to be grateful for and I don't think I realize how lucky I actually am. I should try and remember how lucky I am for all of the items and opportunities that I have every day. I am glad that I got to do this blog post because it showed me just how much I have to be grateful for.

Turn left, Thanksgiving will be on your right in 11 days

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Like many American families on Thanksgiving I have a large meal with my family. We have many dishes including, but not limited to: turkey, potatoes, rolls, cranberry sauce, creamed spinach, stuffing, gravy, and our famous soup. This doesn't even include the amazing desserts. 

Food is an important part of a meal, but something more important is the people you eat it with. This is the second year that Uncle Benny cannot attend. Last year, my family had a party even though he was absent, but this year we are just having a small one with my aunt and her family.

Thanksgiving definitely won't be the same this year, but you know one thing will never change: I will always eat the most.
