I do not know about you, but I am an individual who is busy a majority of the time and who never has any time to just sit still and give praise and gratitude to the ones who need it most. So, even though Thanksgiving has passed, I came up with a little list of some of the things that deserve a little extra recognition than they usually get.

Health

Health is such a major thing to be thankful for. I know many people who have such bad health and I do not give my health enough credit. This past year has been one of the greatest years of my life, and have been able to do so many things that wouldn’t have been possible without being on my tip top health game.

Friends

When I say friends, I do not mean the friends that are there when they need something and disappear when that need is met. I mean the friends who are constantly checking in on you and personally wanting to know how you are doing in every aspect of life.

Faith

Faith is a major part of my life because without my faith, I would not be the person that I am today. I thank God each and every day for all that he has done and is constantly doing in my life. Sometimes life gets hectic and things don’t go the way that you planned them to, but I can always count on my God to take control of the situation and my gratitude to him is so big.

And last, but certainly not least……

Family

My family has become a huge part of my life. Leaving home and moving 2 hours away to attend college has been a huge adjustment, but I know that I can pick up my phone and call any one of my family members and know that they will be there to help without a doubt. Family is the biggest part of my life now and I cannot thank each and every one of my family members for all that they have done for me.

We all have certain things that we need to remember to be thankful for year round; what are some of yours?
