With Thanksgiving rapidly approaching, it's officially that time of the year again. The time of the year we devote to recognizing the things or people in our lives that make life worth living. As we gather around the dinner table with our loved ones each year, we can't help but feel #blessed, but shouldn't we feel this way all year round? If you're lucky enough to have these 15 things, you should be thankful for them all the time, not just on Thanksgiving Day.

1. Good physical health.

For the ability to train our bodies to be capable of more than we ever thought possible.

2. Good food.

For being able to enjoy some good eats every now and then, not just turkey and mashed potatoes one day out of the year.

3. A highly valuable group of friends.

Come one or come all, highly prized friends are hard to find. Cherish them every day of your life and never let them go without hearing it.

4. Your closest loved ones.

You may question it sometimes, but at the end of the day, these are your people. The people who would do anything for you without a doubt. If you're lucky enough to have a support system of family, be grateful for them.

5. "Me-time".

There's nothing better than sharing life with someone else, but when some much needed "me time" is calling, it's a breath of fresh air.

6. Nights out with friends.

For when you need to get out of the house, put on an outfit that makes you feel incredible, and dance all night with friends; be thankful for this.

7. Nights in with friends.

Being thankful for the little things in life, like mani/pedis with the girls or homemade face masks.

8. Warm coffee.

If you need a good 'ole cup of jo to get your mornings going, be thankful for the warm cup after cup you consume like clockwork.

9. Good wine.

Sometimes good wine comes disguised in the $5 twist off bottle from Target; give thanks.

10. Furry friends.

They deserve some recognition for many reasons. One being they don't have to run to the front door to greet you every time you enter your home, but they still do.

11. A career.

Whether you've already landed your dream job or you're in progress of doing so, be thankful for the resources that helped you get to where you are. Even if that involves thanking yourself.

12. Hobbies.

You know, those things that keep us busy when we're dying of boredom. Or the things we turn to when we need to let off some steam. Always appreciate your hobbies.

13. Phone calls with someone you miss.

Nothing compares to hearing the voice of someone you miss dearly.

14. A strong relationship.

When the one you've been waiting for your whole life comes along, everything changes; don't ever forget to be thankful for this.

15. Sunsets.

The beauty of a sunset makes you appreciate the beauty in everyday life, no matter how big or small.

What are you thankful for, this Thanksgiving and every day?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
