Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!! I am so excited for today because we are going to my grandparent's and cousin's house to eat a lot of food and spend time together. We are also setting up our Christmas tree today and all of our Christmas decorations. As I have mentioned before (in my first post, I think), I LOVE the holidays especially Christmas. Most people think that why I would love Christmas is because of the presents. That is actually not true. I mean, I love the presents, but the reason that I love Christmas is because of the festivities and decorations. Christmas also happens to be the birthday of our Savior It is also a really fun time of the year for me and my family and friends. Anyway, back onto the subject of Thanksgiving, here are my 20 things that I am thankful for (I warn you now, they are kind of random #lol). I hope you posted yours. Love y'all!!!
I am thankful for:
1. Jesus Christ
2. My family and friends
3, My home
4. Food/water (provisions)
5. Freedom and the chance to celebrate Thanksgiving
6. Animals (especially horses)
7. Music
8. Snow
9. Rain
10. Rainbows
11. Stars
12. Sparkles
13. The color of the sky at different times of the day (especially the sunset/sunrise)
14. The aroma and color of beautiful wild flowers that are on our property (during summer, of course)
15. Starbucks
16. Candles
17. Christmas
18. Books
19. Warm blankets that are there to make me lazy
20. Being able to be in Guard
21. But most of all, I am thankful for my life

Most people take their life for granted. They think of it as a thing that they can bring to an end whenever they want. They honestly don't know how fortunate they are to be alive. The gift of life is the most precious thing in the world. Don't waste it!

~Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year because it reminds us to give thanks and to count our blessings. Suddenly, so many things become so little when we realize how blessed and lucky we are.~

Since it is Thanksgiving, here is another quote that I like.

~I love Thanksgiving because it's a holiday that is centered around food and family, two things that are of utmost importance to me.~
