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.

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Oakland University

1124

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

16 Things Blondes Are Tired Of Hearing

Please hold your blonde joke.

Rutgers University

Yify

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

No, I can't help you.

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

4. Having the same conversations over and over again! To be honest I really don't even want to talk to you right now, or have this fake ass smile on my face!

5. Always having to have a smile on your face. I promise I'm not as happy as I may look!

6. Customers not understanding that sometimes, mistakes happen. I am a human being, we all mess up sometimes!

7. Having the boss from hell, it's their way or the highway! Even though I did my job correctly and efficiently, if I don't do it the exact way you do, I'm a piece of shit.

8. Having coworker who don't help out, who bend the rules just enough to screw you over.

9. Having to be at work after closing because a customer is taking forever and half! Not like I'd like to go home or anything!

10. Having shitty hours and more shifts than you asked for. Just because we don't have enough workers, doesn't mean I want to pick up every shift that you cant cover, oh great boss of mine!

11. Not having time for a social life. It gets old saying, "I can't I have work..." Every day of the week!

12. Having that lazy costumer who can't do anything for themselves... no please I'll get that, it's no problem at all!

It's just my face, I swear.

1. When you meet new people, they automatically assume you hate them or are rude.

2. People are constantly asking you if you're OK.

3. After being friends with someone for a while, they confess to you, "I thought you were so mean when I first met you," or, "I thought you hated me."

4. You get told to smile more, but they don't understand how scary that would be.

5. You're always labeled as seeming "judgy."

6. Passing a friend with your RBF in full force and not realizing you just shot them a death glare.

7. Being sarcastic, but everyone thinks you're outright rude.

8. Not knowing how mean you really look until you see a picture of yourself in resting face.

9. Your apologies never sound sincere because of your emotionless face.

10. Your "mad face" scares you.

11. And, lastly, people are constantly asking you if you are happy or having a good time because you look bored to death.

Please hold your blonde joke.

2. "Is that your natural hair color?"

3. "Oh wow, you get good grades at school?"
