My Thanksgiving Top Ten...

During the Thanksgiving holiday, I get to eat great food, spend time with family, and even have a family nap session. There are so many different aspects that I can be thankful for around this time of year:

1. Family--Almost every activity or concept of the holiday season involves family. I love spending Thanksgiving with my family. I am thankful for getting to see all of the people I normally only get to see every once in a while. When we get together, we have a blast!


2. Friends--I am also thankful for my friends. Even though I don't get to see them much over the holiday season, I am so very thankful for them. They are always there for me, and to help me when I am down.

3. Home--Without my home, I would have no shelter or place to be thankful in. I enjoy sitting by our cozy fireplace and drinking a cup of hot cocoa. I am thankful to even have this option of joy.

4. Food--I love food. Point blank, food is one of the items that I am most thankful for. I could not LIVE without the roasted turkey, potatoes, and of course...pie.

5. Pets--Almost everyone probably has some kind of pet involved in their family. Whether it is a dog, cat, moose, or even a ferret. They may not seem like a huge part, but if they were gone, your love for them would be realized. I am quite thankful for them.

6. Card Games--UNO!!!!!! Yes, as you can see, Uno is one of my all time favorite card games. Is it wrong to be thankful for that? I. Think. Not. By the way, this subject is totally a shout-out to all of my Uno buddies!!! You guys make the game interesting, and I am thankful for that.

7. Hobbies--There is sooo much that I can say about hobbies. I love to play soccer, play the trumpet, and even rock climb on special occasions. I think without having all of these activities to entertain me, I would go insane.

8. Music--Like I said before, I play the trumpet so I can't help but be thankful for music! I love it. It completes me, and makes me who I am today. I have grown up around music lovers so without it, all would be lost.

9. Books--One of my most beloved books, that I have read, is To Kill a Mockingbird. I love the good country story of three children whose whole outlook on life take a drastic change for the better over the course of a year. Honestly, it really changed my life. I am thankful for the stories that are passed on through books.

10. Computer--Well, to be honest, towards the end of this list I ran out of good ideas for things to be thankful for. However, I do love the amazing Facebook that can only be accessed from the internet/computer world. :]
