You don't always have to be thankful on just Thanksgiving. Everyday of the year there are beautiful things around you that we should be infinitely grateful for, but we often forget. Here are a few:

1. Weekends

Time off from everything in your life.

2. Having an opportunity to get an education

It is such a privilege.

3. Having a home

Regardless of where home is, or who you see it in, it's there.

4. An ability to read

Think of all the things you couldn't do if you could read.

5. Laughter

I live for the moments where I can laugh.

6. Your car

Getting to point A to point B is my goal.

7. Feeling safe

Something I can never take for granted.

8.Time

There is so much you can do, you have time. Just don't waste it.

9. Your favorite pair of jeans

Everyone needs something that makes their bottom look good.

10. Your grandparents

Life's biggest blessings.

11. The kindness of strangers

So rare, yet so appreciated.

12. Holidays

Food, family, friends.

13. Waking up today

Simply waking up today means you have things to be thankful for.

14. The justice system

You are safe because of it.

15. Indoor plumbing

Can you imagine having to pee outside when its freezing cold out?

16. Sunrises and sunsets

There is nothing like watching the sky open and close.

17. Your brain

It's pretty important.

18. Your favorite food

Nothing beats it.

19. Modern Medicine

You are able to live for so long and stay so healthy

20. The feeling after a good workout

Better sore than sorry.

21. The armed forces

Remember those that work hard to protect you.

22. Your pet

You are their whole life.

23. Good health

The ability to walk, run, think, feel, and speak clearly is something we all take for granted.

24. Money in the bank

Feeling financially secure is a different level of security.

25. Learning from a mistake

Making the mistake and its repercussions are not always fun, but doing the right thing the second time is.

26. Freedom of religion

You get to believe in who you want. Praise be.

27. Your special someone

You know you love them, you know they are important, just don't forget how much they mean.
