10 Reasons To Be Thankful

Let me count the ways.

10 Reasons To Be Thankful

1. God: Pray every single day and night. "Have you prayed about it as much as you've talked about it?" Matthew 21:22

2. Family: Who can live without family? Whether it's your mom, dad, aunt, uncle, or even your adopted family, love them unconditionally, even if they do drive you crazy sometimes. The love they have for you may be the only strength you have at many points in your life. They are who truly keep you going.

3. Friends: "F is for friends who do things together, U is for you and me, N is for anywhere at any time at all, down here in the deep blue sea," as SpongeBob SquarePants states.

4. Boyfriend/Girlfriend: Always there know matter what. They will always be a shoulder to cry on when you need them. They're the ones you can talk to about every triumph and every struggle.

5. Job: Without my job, I'm not sure what I would do with all of my free time. My boss and my co-workers are like my second family.

6. Money: Money does get you far in life, and you can't take it with you when you go. Spend it wisely on what you need, and not what you want.

7. Car: My Pontiac G6 may not be the BEST car out there, but it gets me from point A to point B without walking. P.S. I hate walking.

8. Pet: My cat, Thomas, is my world. He will always be my little baby and make me laugh, especially when he chases the mouse around the house like it's his friend. They're always there when it seems like nobody else is.

9. College: College is life! It's to start your future. It's where you meet your sorority sisters, forever love, and your future bridesmaids. Be thankful for the education you receive, as this is the final stepping stone to the real world.

10. Clothes On My Back: I may not have the "coolest" clothes, but I'm glad I have clothes on my back. "She is clothed in strength and dignity. And she laughs without fear of the future." Proverbs 31:25

Be thankful each and every day of your life. Live for what you have, and strive for the things you don't.

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.
