But I do have so incredibly much to be thankful for, especially this year. If asked, I don't think I could simply pinpoint just one thing. That would be like asking Willy Wonka what his favorite candy is. I have been blessed with the people in my life, my family, friends, past room mates, and even strangers. I have been on the receiving end of so much love, kindness and happiness. I have got to begin such new, exciting adventures. I have found even greater love through my family, and of course, have even been lucky enough to gain a whole new family as well.
And that's just skimming the surface. Transportation...health..beautiful weather....hot chocolate... boxes of soft kleenex.... I could go on and on. (Yet. My goal was to keep this short...)
The main point is, I'm so grateful for all that I have in my life. For all the things I have be able to learn, be a part of and experience. Of course it's not always perfect. My shoes come untied, I return library books back late, and occasionally, the car leaks oil. Plans fall through, roads become snowy...and some days can just simply be frustrating.
Yet, I think that's the great part of it all. As they say, "Life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful." Even when the road gets a little bumpy, or possibly filled with potholes....there can still be so much good through it all.
For the days when you're "Thankful List" is running a little short.... just look around.. Find something.
To everyone else....Thank you for being such a great part of my life! Watch the video. I love it. Sometimes, it's the simple things we forget that are the best!
Also. One month from today.
30 days if you're counting....
But who does that... (Oh wait. I do..)
I also count. I am just as excited as you are... ok, maybe third most excited, after you and David. I'm thankful that I have a best friend that I can count on to be happy with. I love you.
