With Thanksgiving approaching, this is a great opportunity to look back on the things that they are grateful/thankful for. Sometimes it's easier to focus on what we don't have, rather than what we do have. It's important to take time out and remember all of the things to be thankful for that many of us take for granted. Some of these you should be thankful for in your everyday and they are great reminders to cherish everything that you have.
1. Your parents/guardians.

They gave you life. They`ve provided you with everything you have unless otherwise. The wisdom they have they pass on to you and give you life lessons. All they want is for you to lead a good life and be happy. Also, they want you to not make any of the same mistakes they made and want you be smarter about the decisions you make.
2. Friends.

For most, it's the quality of friendships, not the quantity. True friends provide you the most support. They will be with you through thick and thin. They`ll love you no matter what and will do mostly anything with/for you.
3. A roof over your head.

No matter where you live, having a place to call home is something to be thankful for. It protects you rain or shine, so it is something that should be appreciated.
4. Pets.

Pets offer one of the best examples of unconditional love. They`ll love you always and provide an outlet of therapeutic comfort.
5. Education.

The opportunity to attend school is something many people don't have. Being able to go helps to build our knowledge throughout the years and helps to further our education in a field that we want to work in the future.
6. Time.

Although we often don't think there's enough of it, time is something we shouldn't take for granted. Time is fleeting for everyone. It can go by faster than what people want. So, people need to be thankful for the time they have with everyone around them and enjoy their lives to the fullest.
All of these I personally believe should be much appreciated. Without many of these, life would be very different for most.
