Those Little Blessings

What am I thankful for?

This is a rather large question with a limitless amount of answers.

You go around a circle of people and every once in a while someone will say…

“I am thankful for all the little things in life.”

Yet, what the person usually forgets to do is explain what these ‘little things’ are! Maybe because to elaborate would take a very long time, given that there are so many of these ‘little things’ in life. In my own opinion, I think that the list of ‘little things’ will always depend upon the person. Everyone has their own unique list. So then to answer the question of what I am thankful for I will provide my own list of the little blessings in my life.

My little blessings lately include,

•           The support given to inspire my talents
•           Cookie dough ice cream
•           The ability to see, hear, comprehend and speak
•           Penguins
•           Glee, Modern Family and other shows to provide procrastination
•           Frozen yogurt
•           American freedom
•           Sweatpants
•           Carpet and indoor heating
•           Disney World
•           Poetry
•           Books like Harry Potter and the Hunger Games
•           Dreams
•           Journals
•           The stars in the sky
•           The love given by those closest to me

…and so much more. I sort of dislike making this list for the same reason the Federalists didn’t want to have a Bill of Rights. Sometimes if you make a list then what is on the list is thought to be of more importance then what is not. Remember what I said earlier: the answer is limitless. This is merely a list of the things I am grateful for that crossed my mind while typing this post. There will always be more bullet points to add to it. Never allow there to be a limit for what you are thankful for!

I love this holiday, not only because of the family and the food, but also because it means Christmas is just around the corner. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
