Thankful! :)

I’m thankful for my awesome friends, who never fail to make me smile and appreciate life a little bit more all the time.

I’m grateful for my wonderfully supportive family that’s always encouraged me to follow my heart.

I’m thankful for my incredibly brilliant, supportive, caring, ambitious, hilarious (the list of adjectives can go on forever) partner in crime and his fantastic family. They have successfully reminded me of how wonderful family dinners can truly be.

I’m constantly grateful for all of the opportunities that I’ve been afforded in life and for being born into a society where I’m blessed with so many freedoms. It’s so easy to take things for granted (e.g. food, clothing, clean water, medicine, education) and to focus on the things that we don’t have in life. While today is a great day to take a minute and appreciate all of the things that we’re blessed with, I think it would do us all well to remember how privileged we are on a daily basis. Thanksgiving always reminds me to focus on what’s truly important, to live each day to the fullest and to always appreciate the people and experiences that make every day of life worth living.

Thank you to everyone who has made life so wonderful.

Happy Thanksgiving!
