thankful

Thanksgiving is my most favorite holiday. It humbles me and makes me see the positives in my life, its great time with the people I love the most, not to mention amazing food. And now I am going to blog about some things I am grateful for, tis the season :)

1. First and formost, I am thankful for my best friend, my therapist, my better half, my husband, Jon. We have almost been married a year now. Which feels a little bizarre..but at the same time, it feels like we've been together forever and this is just right. People always say the first year of marriage is the hardest. This year hasn't been the easiest, but I have loved this past year. I have never been this happy. And all of it is thanks to my wonderful husband. I can't imagine my life without him, he is my everything. I love him so wholely and so dearly :)

2. I am thankful for my mom. As I get older I have gotten closer to my mom. I look up to her so much. And I couldn't be more proud of her for being a great example and going back to school to achieve her dreams and become a successful woman. I wanna be like my mom when I grow old.

3. I am thankful for my little apartment. I love living in a great area, close to family and friends. I love it. :)

4. I am thankful for my puppy. Cap is my first pet ever, and I couldn't have asked for anyone better. He is so sweet and has so much personality. He has taken part in helping me get through the hard times. Cute little guy.

5. I am thankful for my friends and family. There were some events that happened this year that shaped myself and my life. It really showed me who matters and who truely cares about me. I have some amazing people in my life and I don't know what I'd do without their love and support.

6. I am thankful for my family, being my parents, my brother and my sisters. They truely have stood by me through every trial and they are still standing and are still loving me. I am very lucky to have such crazy, fantastic, most wonderful people in my life.

7. I am thankful for my in laws. They are quite different from my family, but that is one of the many reasons I love them. They give me more perspective on the world that I never would have thought of otherwise. Not to mention they are sweet and wonderful people who have accepted me in their family with open arms.

8. I am thankful for my husband's job, for keeping our little roof over our heads.

9. I am thankful for art (theater, photography, music, literature, ect.) for channeling any negative energy out in a good healthy way.

10. I am thankful for comedy, for making light of dark situations and making me laugh at myself.

11. I am thankful for my talents, for making me think more highly of myself.

12. I am thankful for my good health. I normally am pretty sickly, but I have been feeling good this year. I think part of it has to do with the many great things that have happened to me this year.

13. I am thankful for Dexter. It's a good show.

14. I am thankful for mint ice cream, chai tea, dark chocolate, peanut butter, red wine, fruit, and french fries.

15. I am thankful for all the little moments that keep me going. I live for the small happiness in being with the people I love and doing the things we love. I would even go as far to say I'm thankful for the bad moments. The wonderful small moments wouldn't be so wonderful without the bad moments. I am thankful for the balance.

Happy Thanksgiving! Love you all :)
