An Essay About The Things I Remember My Thanksgiving

Things to remember this thanksgiving

I have noticed lately that the more I show my genuine appreciation for people and things in my life, the happier I have become. I truly believe that expressing gratitude builds and shows humility and understanding. It is so easy to say, “I hate my life” and laugh about it, but do you mean that? No matter what you think of yourself or your life, someone out there is wishing they were just like you and lived your life with all the things you have. Someone else out there would kill to live your life, to be as good looking as you, as wealthy as you, etc. Now that the busy holiday season is approaching, it is easy to become overwhelmed and forget why we are celebrating in the first place. Before you get yourself a food baby and pass out for the night, here

Each and every one of us has something to look forward to. And if you can’t think of something to look forward to, I have your back today. Winter is coming up and lots of holidays are coming to celebrate. Look forward to hot chocolate, movie nights, fires, Christmas music and gingerbread cookies. Look forward to love and laughter and more memories to come!

I do not know everything, and I do not know everyone’s situation. But I do know that there is always something to be thankful for. We should be showing our gratitude more often, and this Thanksgiving is the perfect way to start and get in the habit. I encourage all of you to find something on this list to be thankful for. Let people know if you are grateful for them, and be heartfelt about it. I promise you will make someone’s day!

When I think about everything that is in my life in front of me, all the friends, family, and blessings that I have, it is hard not to smile knowing that it does not get much better than this. I wish all the happiest of Thanksgivings and know that I am thankful for you. Eat lots of food, show lots of love, and be safe!!
