I can't believe it is already Thanksgiving, but I am not complaining! I LOVE the Holiday season..all the joy, families, parties, gifts, food, cozy weather, movies- for me the list goes on and on.
Today, for Thanksgiving, I have been challenged to think of 12 nontraditional/cliche things I am thankful for. I had 24hours to think of them. It is so easy for us to simply thing family, friends, and health but how often do we really stop and search for things we are thankful for. I have accepted the challenge and my 12 things are:
1. Yasmeen who has taught me the true meaning of life & what it means to love someone more than yourself.
2. Every bad/hard moment this year that has strengthened my faith or perseverance.
3.The moon& stars and the sunrises&sunsets.
4. The ability to run
5. Sanae Shea, Traci Runge, and Nadia Saadi-Three amazing women who have taught me to be the best me
6.Zumba!
7. All the kids I babysit for, because they have each taught ME something important
8. Peace, freedom, and the protection our military gives us
9. The opportunity to receive a higher education
10. My two cultures that help me out of ignorance
11.
12.
My last two are still to come:) I challenge you to come up with 12 unique things to be thankful for as well.
This morning I am watching the famous and incredible Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I love watching this each year the magical feeling of it and the way it really kicks off the holiday season. I can't wait to feast with my family tonight...good food and company always makes for a fun night.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all...be safe black Friday shoppers:)
Feasting, Family, Friends...
Dream Big
