During the month of November people on Facebook find it necessary to update their status everyday on what they are thankful for leading up to Thanksgiving, so instead of bombarding your news feed with my thankfulness, I'll write about it. There is a lot in this life to be thankful for. People more often than not take this life they were given for granted.
So here it goes: My 22 days of thankfulness...
Day 1: I am thankful for my mother, my hero. She is the most kind-hearted, strong woman I will ever meet and I can only hope that I turn out to be half the woman she is.
Day 2: I am thankful for my brother. Since I moved I've watched our relationship blossom and it makes you realize the true love you have for siblings.
Day 3: I am thankful that I am healthy and free of disease or sickness.
Day 4: I am thankful that I am alive, that I got the opportunity to wake up this morning and another chance to improve myself.
Day 5: I am thankful for the Ford Family Foundation, without them I would still be living in Pendleton, working 40 hours a week to pay for BMCC. They have given me the opportunity to take my dreams and run with them.
Day 6: I am thankful for my cousins and the sibling-like bond we have always shared, no matter where life has taken us.
