I have so many things to be thankful for, yet sometimes I forget. Bad days, inconveniences and tough situations make it easy to brush off the things we should be thankful for. So I am going to make a list of things I am thankful for (of course I couldn’t possibly name everything because we would be here all day).

The roof over my head
Clean/running water
My warm blankets!
Food in my fridge
Clean clothes and shoes
A loving family
Caring, devoted friends
My (mostly) behaved dog
My loving boyfriend who usually supports my hopes and dreams (apparently, having 30 dogs and a pet moose isn’t an option)
Fresh air
The ability to live freely and peacefully
Being healthy
Learning new skills
The cute little grunting noise piglets make
The beauty of changing seasons
People who sacrifice being with their families to serve and protect others’
Being able to pick up the phone and talk to just about anybody
The fact that my dog will stay still for photos
My camera and gear
The ability and opportunities to work toward my dreams
Pizza

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Don’t forget to acknowledge and be thankful for all the things you have that others may not.
