Simple Things To Be Thankful For This Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a time for gathering with our family and friends to celebrate everything, large and small, that we are thankful for. This Thanksgiving, don't forget to remember all the things you are thankful for. Here are a few things you may not think about, but should remember this holiday season.

The Big Things:

Family, friends and pets are all typical things that we are thankful for, however sometimes we are guilty of not thanking these people (and animals) enough for everything they do for us. So this Thanksgiving, make sure to show your appreciation for the big things in your life.

The Little Things:

The things we don't think about. A roof over our heads. Food on the table. The opportunity to be educated. All of these things are important parts of daily life, so we sometimes forget how lucky we are to have these things. Think about these while celebrating Thanksgiving this year.

The Random Things:

On Thanksgiving, we should celebrate all the extras in our life. Important things celebrated at Thanksgiving, such as eating a ton of food, watching football and taking leisurely naps, are often at the bottom of the list of things we appreciate. However, we are so lucky to be fortunate enough to have televisions to watch football on and beds to take naps on, so we need to take the time to be grateful for the luxuries in life.

Everything Else:

The bottom line is, if you put your hand over your heart, you'll feel a heartbeat. A pulse. A purpose. Remember that the reason you are who you are today is because of the big and little things in your life. Remember to also be thankful for each and every day you wake up. Be grateful for the opportunity and resources to be exactly who you want to be, and the people and things that support you along the way.


HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
