happy thanksgiving!

yes, i know i'm a little late getting this up.  but i just wanted to... um... demonstrate that we should keep the spirit of thanksgiving in our hearts even after thanksgiving day.  yeah.  yeah, that's why i'm late getting this up.  totally not because i fail at blogging.

things have not been going the best these days, and i've found myself in a little bit of a slump.  so to help myself get out of said slump, i am going to think happy thoughts and write some of the things i am grateful for.

i am grateful for...

having family who lives so close.
my warm little apartment when it's cold outside.
my fluffy duvet and my favorite pillow.
having been taught the importance of family.
my job.  it's busy.  it's stressful.  but i know i'm doing something good.
my education.
my mind.
the people who listen to me ramble.
the people who ramble at me.
being able to help people.
people who have helped me.
books.
my talents.
cinnamon, because seriously, it's the best.
people who have given me a chance.
the experiences in my life that have helped me grow.
the chance to make up for mistakes.
a mother and a father who love me, even when they don't understand me.
siblings who i can call friends.
my car.
my freedom of choice.
my freedom of belief.
lightbulbs.
inside jokes.
bad days, because it means i can tell the difference between good days and bad ones.
