3 Not-So-Common Things To Be Thankful For
Joel Robison

When going around the dinner table and sharing one-by-one what we're thankful for this Thanksgiving season, I thought I'd change it up and not go with the basic family, friends, and food. Although, keep in mind, those definitely are things to be grateful for and not taken for granted. Here are a few new things I've come up with:

1. Pens That Go *Click*

Let's all take a moment to appreciate pens that don't require a removable cap and just clicks to open. You won't ever have to worry about losing the cap. Additionally, you can just keep clicking away when you're stressed or anxious. I'm definitely a fan of these pens, especially those that has ink that writes so smoothly.

2. Golden Hour

That's right, golden hour: that moment right before the sun sets when lighting is at its peak perfection. I'm especially grateful for this time of the day that has brought me the best Instagram photos and profile pictures. Plus, isn't it just a beautiful moment.

3. Google Search: "tumblr"

This might be just a millennial thing, but anyone can do it. If you're looking for a high quality, cool-looking picture on Google, add "tumblr" to your image search. I constantly find myself doing that, and the results are admittedly ten times better. For example, enjoy this "cute animal tumblr" image search result I have here.


Now that I've got you thinking about the little things, what else can you be thankful for? There's a whole wide world of possibilities.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
