5 Reasons To Be Thankful For Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is ultimately a time to gather with your family and friends and reflect on well, anything and everything. There is so much in this world to be thankful for and Thanksgiving is one of those things. Although we should be thankful every single day, Thanksgiving is that one day, a reminder for us to say "thank you."

1. Family Gatherings

As you grow up family gatherings are more scarce so any chance there is to have one, it is something to be thankful for because family is an ultimate bond no matter what.

2. The Meal

Prepping Thanksgiving dinner is no small job, it takes a lot of time and effort. We should all feel so lucky that we get to enjoy this feast with the people we love.

3. The Conversations

Thanksgiving is a time where so many different topics come to the table whether we love them or hate them (politics, college, relationships) we have to take them with grace because someday you won't have these conversations anymore.

4. Friends

During this time of the year, you really start to see how much of an impact your friends have on your everyday lives. You begin to see how much they influence you, good or bad, and how you wouldn't change a thing.

5. The Memories

Some of the best memories are made around the dinner table. Whether you're laughing your heart out, or crying, or sitting in silence these are the days you'll remember in years to come. Be thankful for this time.

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.

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.
