Thankful means so much more.

When being Thankful means so much more.

Nov 19, 2018

Have you ever heard the word Thankful used in a sentence? Maybe someone has used it to describe a you or someone you may know. The word Thankful to me means so much more.

Sometimes I think we forget to be Thankful. The word Thankful to many people doesn’t mean the same thing as it does to others, sometimes. You could use the word Thankful by saying “I’m so thankful for you” when talking to someone.

I have a list I could tell you of what I’m Thankful for but I won’t tell you everything. I’ll tell you the main things because they mean so much more. The things and the people that are thankful to me and I won’t take for Granted because of God I have theses things, these people.

Thanksgiving is all about being Thankful. But if we forget to be thankful during the rest of our lives and not just thanksgiving and we are really missing the big picture of the word “Thankful” and the whole idea of being Thankful. I’m lucky enough God brought two sweet boys named Will, AJ into my life who bring me joy all the time. I’m lucky enough to have a great school, support system, family,friends.

My challenge to you this Thursday is to yes remember all the reasons to be thankful but be thankful to the one above who has given you all this. Be thankful you’re around a table of loved ones. Be thankful for the food on your table, the hands who’ve prepared it. Be Thankful.

But don’t let the day go to waste without telling someone you are Thankful for them. ❤️

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
