12 Things People Said They Were Thankful For This Year And It'll Just Make Your Heart Melt

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:

Thankful for life in general. 

"I am thankful for a roof over our heads, and food for our table. I'm thankful that my kids have two parents who are present in their lives. I'm also thankful for having a job to go to every day. I'm thankful that I lived to see another day."

Thankful to make it through the tough times. 

"For all the obstacles I had this year. I wouldn't be the woman I am today without them."

Thankful for the military.

"I'm thankful for the opportunity the military has given me. I've learned my place in life and I've learned what is important out of life. I'm thankful for the friends and family who have stayed by my side even though I'm thousands of miles away."

Thankful for the support around us. 

"The thought that life will be okay. That we are where we're meant to be in this exact moment, despite the crazy happenings. And we have a team of people in our corner that are always cheering on us. That's what I'm thankful for."

"My incredibly supportive friends and family."

Thankful for family and friends. 

"Always and forever, and from the bottom of my heart, I am grateful for my family. It is my greatest blessing!"

"My family and close friends."

"My friends and family!"

Thankful for our significant others. 

"For a supportive husband who goes above and beyond to take care of his family and children that are loving."

"My beautiful, talented girlfriend."

Thankful for every new day with amazing people. 

"I'm thankful to wake up each morning and have a wonderful support system in my family, friends, and boyfriend."

Thankful for their children. 

"For my 3 amazing kids!!"

Thankful for love. 

"Unconditional love."

Thankful for clothing. 

"Socks."

Thankful for our furry companions. 

"My doggies"

Thankful for laughter. 

"The ability to laugh."

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
