This Thanksgiving I have so much to be thankful for. I have been blessed beyond belief this past year. I want to recognize the people and things I am so grateful for. During the year I may not acknowledge how privileged I actually am. However, I take nothing for granted.

1. My parents

I love you unconditionally. Thank you for all that you've done

2. My younger sister

No one knows how to make me laugh quite like you do

3. My grandparents

4. My extended family

5. My friends that became family

You know who you are

8. The roof over my head

Above all else, I am beyond grateful for a healthy family.

I'm also thankful for the smaller things in life. My coffee, the sun shining, my favorite song coming on in the car and so much more. This holiday season reminds those you love that you are grateful for them. I hope each of you finds at least one thing you are thankful for this holiday season.
