Every year, the week of Thanksgiving, I make a list of at least 50 things I am thankful for. This year, there are so many things I am thankful for. My family and friends are just a few. The past year has been full of God’s blessings and his graces. This list was so easy to write. I learned so much in the past year, and I have so much to be thankful for. So here is my Thankful list for Thanksgiving 2016.

• My Momma; I really do not know what I would do with out her this past year.
• Patrick, my incredible boyfriend.
• My religion, being able to practice my faith freely in this country.

• For realizing when some people say sorry, it does not always mean they are sorry.
• For understanding that sometimes, certain people just are not supposed to be in your life, and that is their choice.

This year, I want to challenge all of you to make a list. You could go around your table saying something you are thankful for, or you could just write it down in a journal to look back on next year. Happy Thanksgiving everyone; enjoy the turkey! :)
