Tis the season to realize how thankful you are for the people, places, and things around you. So who, what, and where are you thankful for this season?
The list of people who I am thankful for could go on and on. Especially these last few years, I can't say enough thank you's and I am sure that I have forgotten plenty. Let me just begin by thanking my Parents. They have flown across the United States for me, literally. No matter what I do, they support me 100%. I am also thankful for my East Coast Parents, the Weavers. They have opened their home for me and have been there whenever I need anything. I have learned so much from them, and I can't thank them enough. The Goldsmith family has been a huge blessing these last few months. After letting me invade their space, they feed me and make me feel like family. I also can't say thank you enough to my Sandy Cove Family. Meghan, Cody, Michael, Deanna, Dan, Nick, and so many more, I can't say thank you enough! And of course, I am thankful for Ben who has put up with me for the last few months. No matter how stressed or frustrating I am, he continues to show me and remind me that I can do anything I put my mind to.
I am beyond thankful for some of the littlest things as well. The first one being my bed. I love my bed and treasure every night I get to sleep in it. I am also thankful for my bathroom. I have running, hot water. However, food is something I am VERY thankful for this season. Whether it is a new kind of stuffing or a fresh container of raspberry jelly, I am thankful that when I go to bed, I don't fall asleep on an empty stomach.
Traveling is one of my favorite things in the whole world. It may just be the drive to school or into work, but I love it. Seeing God's creation piece by piece, warms my heart. In the last few months, I have traveled over 4,000 miles and will travel another 1,300 before Christmas. I'm thankful for airports and their ability to get me across the country to see my Family. However I am also thankful for being able to call Maryland home for these last few months and summers.
During this holiday season, think about the people, things, and places that you are thankful for. Share what you are thankful for with others around you and listen to what they have to say. It may be as simple as a new stove or it may be as special as a 2 year old saying that the person they are most thankful for is you.
