What are you thankful for?
I am thankful for so many things this year! It's been a rough one, but I had so many people helping me through it, such as my amazing family, friends, and boyfriend. I'm also thankful for the new friendships I've created this semester to get me out of my comfort zone, as well as the old ones that keep checking in on me. I've also had many artistic opportunities to push me in life towards what I want to do!
There is so much to be thankful for, like the comfort of books and movies, napping and the beautiful sunsets that we all take for granted. I always reflect on my days, and if it was an especially good one, I'll write down the memories to look back upon. Never forget what you have and always be gracious for what others have given you.
Whether you are thankful for your family and friends, or your favorite movie to come out this is what people said they were the most thankful for in the year 2018. I hope reading this helps to put your life in a different perspective and think more about what you do have than what you don't.
This is what people are thankful for:

Some might be silly and some are serious, but all responses represent what makes people happy and bring them joy.
I challenge you to look at your life and find three things to appreciate each day and be thankful. We take so much for granted that we forget what is all around us. If you didn't do the 30 days of thanks this year, try next year or even next month! You can keep it personal or share it with the world. Just always keep it in mind when you think you don't have much.
