Thankful on Thanksgiving
This thanksgiving day I’ve realized that I have a lot to be thankful for. Like perhaps being alive. I don’t know about you, but I’m very thankful for this. I know these aren’t your normal things to be thankful for, but I have really been thinking.
Maybe I am thankful for the bad day I had, because that means I’ve had better days, and this is only one day of my life and it always gets better.

Last but not least, I am thankful for you always being here to watch over me. Watching me go through good times and bad. Not because you want to see me suffer through bad, but because you have faith in me and know I will make it through.
These are all things that I am very thankful for. I wouldn’t normally think of some of these things, but I’m happy I did. Because now I realize just how thankful I really am.
