15 Unordinary Moments To Be Grateful For

Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, serving as a small reminder to be thankful for everything and everyone that we've been blessed with. As you celebrate the kick-off of the holiday season, don't forget to thank God for these unordinary moments you may forget about.

1. Embracing a long distance friend.

When you haven't seen your best friend in several weeks, your time with them is so much more meaningful. Hugs are just a way of expressing that sweet reunion.

2. That movie that always makes you laugh.

You know, that one movie that always gets you rolling on the floor? Yeah, that one.

3. When someone sees your hands full and holds open the door for you.

Or when people hold open the door for you any time. Either way, it's a kind gesture that shouldn't be overlooked.

4. That first bite into a Chick-fil-A sandwich.

You know the feeling: that juicy bite of sweet chicken with that smooth texture of the bread, topped with Chick-Fil-A sauce is incredible.

5. That moment when your food arrives at the restaurant.

Now everyone has to agree, this is by far a phenomenal moment to be thankful for. The suspense has built up way too long and you're ready to calm down your tastebuds.

6. When your favorite song comes on in the car.

Admit it, you’ve totally flailed your arms when your jam comes through the speakers. It’s like destiny is on your side.

7. When you don't have to set an alarm the next morning.

A few more hours of sleep?? Holla up in here!

8. When a stranger exchanges a smile with you.

That moment when you lock eyes with someone you've literally never seen before, but for some reason you smile and they smile back.

9. That moment you realize it's the weekend.

TGIF!! You've been waiting all week for this moment!

10. Catching something that someone throws at you.

Whether it's that t-shirt at the game, or just some trash someone needs thrown away, it's a fantastic feeling.

11. Finding a dollar bill in your pocket.

You know what they say: a penny saved is a penny earned. It's even better when you realize it's a $20 bill.

12. Waking up feeling refreshed and well-rested.

Isn't this the greatest feeling? You're energized and ready to take on the day. And maybe you don't even need coffee!

13. The belly-drop feeling on the first drop of the roller coaster.

Your insides shoot up and you may start screaming, but it's totally worth it.

14. Hitting every green light on your commute.

What an efficient use of time! And they all wonder why you're early...

15. The feeling of accomplishment when you've completed a big project.

Whether you've worked on something for hours, days, weeks, or months, the feeling of accomplishment is overwhelming-and so is the urge to celebrate.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
