The holiday season is here! Start your season off right by giving thanks to the things that matter most to you, no matter how big or small.
1. Parents
For the absolute and never-ending love they have provided you. Thank them for all the opportunities they have given you throughout your life and for being your number one fans. They have made you who you are today.
2. Siblings
With every punch and scratch, they have made you tougher and have always been there to protect you.
3. Health
Good health is not something to take for granted
4. Happiness
For the best moments in life
5. Tears
For the reminder that it’s okay to have emotions
6. Cute animals
What’s better than unconditional love from a puppy, even if we don’t deserve it
7. The University of Scranton
Without it, things today would be totally different.
8. Friends who are always there
Everyone needs a shoulder to lean on, and a friend to laugh with.
9. America and the freedoms we are lucky enough to have
So many are often taken for granted, such as the freedom of speech and the right to vote.
10. Having a roof over your head
11. A bed that makes it hard to get out of every day
12. Laughter
The contagious laughter that makes your stomach hurt
13. Extended family
For showing you where you get your crazy from
14. Waking up
Every day is a blessing, remember that
15. Sweater weather
The coziest weather
16. The ocean
For reminding us how immense and precious our planet is
17. Karma
For the reminder that every action has a reaction that will affect your life in one way or another. The best karma requires the best actions.
18. Starbucks (Or Dunkin Donuts)
Those mornings that you need an extra kick to start your day
19. Google
For the ability to end basically every argument over who is right or wrong simply by “googling it”
20. Peace and quiet
Nothing better than some peace and quiet after a long, hectic day
21. Pay day
Money in the bank
22. Safety & security
The ability to go to sleep each and every night without being in fear. For that we have to thank the troops, the ones risking their lives for us every day.
23. God
For the reminder that all things are under control and that every thing happens for a reason.
24. Netflix
For the greatest type of procrastination. Go ahead, binge watch Stranger Things, you definitely don’t need to be doing anything else
25. Home cooked meals
The most scrumptious food ever, leaving you as stuffed as the turkey you’ll eat on Thanksgiving
26. The raining mornings that turned into sunny afternoons
For the reminder that every storm has an end. All bad things don’t last forever.
27. A great joke
Nothing like laughing so hard you have tears streaming down your face.
28. The weekends (Friday-Sunday)
For making the rest of the week bearable
29. A hot shower
30. Finding money in those forgotten pants
For adding a few extra dollars to your wallet
31. For the people who make your day better and easier
Because, without them, life would be much more of a struggle
32. Yourself
Love yourself and be thankful for who you are, but continue to strive to be the best you can be. Always remember, you are not alone.
33. Life
Without it, none of this would be possible.
