Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for so many things, but most importantly I am thankful for my faith in God because He gets me through everything. Although I thank God daily for these things, I want to specifically thank Him in writing on this special day. So, thank you, God, for my family, friends, health, food and shelter, education, and every blessing you have bestowed upon me (the list could go on forever!). I give thanks for Brian because he stands by my side every step of the way. I am also very thankful that I got my RN license this year and to be almost done with school, since my nursing journey has been long and arduous, but also full of blessings and wonderful memories. In addition, I want to say a special prayer today for those who are alone, hungry, sick, cold, and/or suffering in any way.

Even though today is Thanksgiving, we should be thankful for all the blessings in our lives throughout the entire year. It can sometimes be a struggle to give thanks, especially for the littlest things or during times of stress or anger, but when you do, I feel it really helps brighten your spirits and makes you realize that you have SO much to be thankful for. I am definitely going to try to be more thankful for simple things that can often go unnoticed.

I hope each of you has a wonderful Thanksgiving, surrounded by the love of family and friends.
