26 Reasons I am Thankful this Thanksgiving!

So, at the beginning of the month I decided that everyday I would post on Facebook what I was thankful for. Well... that plan changed, I decided that I would rather just make one long post in the spirit of Thanksgiving. Besides, Facebook has too much going on right now to see 26 separate posts of what this 20-something is thankful for.


1. Thankful for Family.
My family, as a whole, has always been there for me. Even miles away I receive much comfort from them. Even at times when they stress me out, I still love them more than anything. Thanks to technology. I always have a way to stay connected.



2. Thankful for Netflix.
Netflix is the best therapy around! When ever I feel like I am about to loose my mind I can lay on my bed and zone out watching a good portion of a series.



3. Thankful for School.
I may complain about school from time to time but I have figured out that I am extremely blessed to have the opportunity to attend. Am I going to be drowning in student loan debt? You bet'cha! But it is worth it.



4. Thankful for Bees.
Yes, I occasionally swat at bees, run away from bees, or even hide in terror from them. Bees are  essential to the environment. Also, there is honey! Yummy honey!





5. Thankful for Tattoos. 
I currently have four tattoos. Some have meanings and some don't. My tattoos allow me to express myself and show what I love. I am excited to see them in the future because they will always remind me of who I am or who I was when I got it. Plus, they'll be entertaining for the grand-kids.



6. Thankful for my Brother.
Nobody can take the place of my little brother. We are ALWAYS there for each other, no matter what. I always enjoy the times we have together and I am excited to be able to see him more often. Thank you for being the best brother ever!



7. Thankful for hookah.
At the moment I have three hookahs! I love to pass time and relax by bringing out my hookahs or going out to smoke hookah. There are so many different flavors that it is always a treat.




8. Thankful for Friends.
Over the years I have gained and lost friends. True friends stick by your side and are always there for you. Maintaining a friendship does not require you to constantly be together, you just have to be there for them in any way possible. I am proud to call my friends family.




9. Thankful for FRIENDS.
I have mentioned before that Friends is one of my all-time favorite TV shows. It is perfect and I do not feel as if I need to say more!




10. Thankful for my Kitty.
I didn't realize how much of a cat person I was until I got Edie. She is so mischievous and loving. I don't know what I would do without her.




11. Thankful for movies.
Movies allow me to escape from reality. Almost any genre of movies will do!




12. Thankful for my dad.
My dad is an odd fella but I love him. He has always been there for me no matter what. I will always be his little girl.




13. Thankful for mistakes.
Without mistakes or failures we are unable to learn. Whether it be mine or someone else's it is all helpful.





14. Thankful for animals.
I love animals and always have. It irritates me when people abuse or abandon animals. Animals do not get a say in what their future holds, humans do. Any animal is worth love.




15. Thankful for my major.
My major is Strategic Communications. I do not know what made me to decide on this major, I think I just picked it. I do not regret it one bit or have any doubt in it. My only hope is that I am to prove myself with my major once I graduate.




16. Thankful for make-up.
I have worn make-up since I was in middle school. The first mascara I was allowed to wear was clear. I would experiment with all the different colors until I found my niche. I am not saying that I am dependent on make-up or that girls need to wear it. Make-up gives me the extra boost of confidence I need.




17. Thankful for music.
I have always loved music. I love music that allows me to be my true weird self.




18. Thankful for traditions.
I love traditions. I feel as if they are important for any friendships or families to have. They are what makes your group unique.




19. Thankful for books.
I have always loved reading. Before I graduated high school I read constantly. My favorite books were the ones in first-person. I was able to put myself into the character's mind.




20. Thankful for my Mom.
My mom is dorky and unique. No matter what I will always need her around. I know she will always be there for me. I love her so.




21. Thankful for trees.
Trees are always beautiful. All the time, trees are beautiful.




22. Thankful for socks.
Those who know me know that I am not a fan of feet. Socks cover feet. Socks come in many fun varieties. Lets all wear socks! (P.S. I need these socks.. winky face)




23. Thankful for my boyfrannnn.
November 23rd was our 6 months. We may have not been together for a long-time but I truly believe that he is everything I have ever needed. He is supportive and caring. I love you!




24. Thankful for baths.
The best way to take a bath is to use a bath bomb from Lush. Taking a bath is just another way I love to relax.




25. Thankful for Thanksgiving food!
Sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, rolls, turkey, apple pie, pecan pie, pumpkin pie.....




26. Thankful for beliefs.
Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs. They are what makes us what we are. It is important that we respect one another and each other's beliefs.



Thank you for taking the time to read my rambles. The goal for my Thanksgiving holiday is to stay positive and spend every possible moment with the ones I love.

Stay thankful!
