Thanksgiving is right around the corner. It’s almost like we can smell the food already. (joke) Okay, maybe it’s just me. Nonetheless, it’s here.
One thing about thanksgiving is that it’s the absolute perfect time to be thankful. It’s the time to live in and show gratitude. It’s time to reflect and be thankful.
It’s so easy to have a bad day. It’s easy to point out all the things that you feel is going wrong. But truth be told, there’s so much to be thankful for. Even if this is a bad time, it’s a great time to be thankful. It seems like we get so caught up in ourselves at times that we forget to smell the roses.
Maybe that’s you. Maybe it’s you that’s been so overwhelmed. Maybe it’s you that’s been beating yourself up for what hasn’t work out for you. Maybe. If that is you, let’s take some time to focus on some great things that life has to offer.
Here’s a list of things to be thankful for:
- Waking up today

Sometimes, it’s the little things in life that mean the most.
