As Thanksgiving is coming this Thursday I decided to look back at my life and find the top five things that I am most thankful for. Sometimes Thanksgiving to millennials is not looked at as a time to be thankful but more for a time to eat turkey and pumpkin pie. I want this to change this year so after you read this, write down a few things that make you thankful and share those with the people you love.

1.)Amazing parent's and siblings

I have been blessed to be in such an amazing family who loves and takes care of me. To my parents, you guys brought me into this world and raised me to be who I am today and I cannot thank you enough for that. I am thankful to have parents like you who protect me from the scary things in the world and love me for who I am. To my siblings, you guys were not probably expecting a sixth sibling but here I am! I am thankful for you guys initiating me into the "gang" and making sure I have an amazing life.

2.)Good friends

Never did I think that I would have found so many friends in elementary school that would remain my friends until today. You all know who you are and I will never be able to put into words how much I appreciate you guys for being there for me through thick and thin. I am forever thankful to have such amazing people in my life that I can cherish forever.

3.)Loving boyfriend

Last year at this time, I could have never imagined being with someone who I care about so much and can be myself around but here we are. Almost a year later and I still cannot believe how lucky I am to have found such an amazing man like yourself. I am thankful to have spent the past almost year with you and hope there are many more to come.

4.)Good health

I have learned that we should be more thankful about our good health because not many people have it. When my dad was in the hospital last December I realized that health itself is so very important whether it's your own or a loved one. I am thankful that my parents have made sure I remain in good health my first 18 years of life.

5.)A roof over my head

You cannot take having a house for granted because more people than you can ever imagine do not have a house. They do not have a warm bed to sleep in at night, food on the table in the morning or a family to come home to. I am thankful that I have been blessed with all of that.
