I received inspiration earlier after seeing someone post about Thanksgiving approaching and what they are thankful for. Everyone should be thankful for so many things and with the holidays coming up it is nice to be able to reflect about everything.
How often do you pause to appreciate what you have in life? There are some of us who take things for granted while others are constantly thinking about how lucky they are and how appreciative they are for many things. It is easy to get caught up and be someone who is always wanting more and sometimes forget to slow down and realize you should be happy with what you have now but know that there is always room to grow and gain more.
There are some things we don't stop to realize like how lucky we are to be educated and go to wonderful schools. I completely value my education that I received from childhood all through college, and I am still learning new things every single day. Education can never be taken away from you, it's something that you will always have to learn and grow from.
Here are a few things to be grateful for:
Parents - they gave you this life and will always be there for you no matter what
Siblings - the best friends you will ever have in life
Your significant other/Soulmate - For making you see that nothing could ever be bad with them by your side
Your friends - for bringing out the best in you
Love - for letting you feel what it truly means to be alive
Your health - I could talk about this forever. Having your health is everything, it allows you to do everything you want to do now and in the future. Making healthy decisions = a long wonderful life

Your mind - for the abilitity to think, store memories, and create new solutions
Happines - the ability to soak in the beauty of life
Your job - for giving you a source of living and where you can feel a sense of accomplishment each day
Music - for lifting your spirits each day when you are down and for putting a smile on your face
Your enemies - for helping you uncover your blind spots so you can become a better person
Your mistakes - for helping you improve and become better
Laughter- for serenading you with all the joys of life
Life - for giving you the chance to experience all that you're experiencing, and will be experiencing in time to come
Last but not least, be thankful for YOU. For being who you are and touching people's lives with your presence. For also letting other people touch your life in some way and showing the world how important you are. Without knowing it, you are making an impact on other people's lives. You are a role model to someone and a breath of fresh air to another. If you can learn to love yourself and all the flaws, you can love other people so much better.
Sometimes it's easy to feel bad because you are going through a tough time in life. However, remember no matter how bad your situation may seem, there thousands of things to be grateful for in life.
Love & Pink,
