I'm Thankful For....

Thanksgiving is always a great time for everyone to tell what they're thankful for. I'm late, but what better way to publicly say what I'm thankful for than on blogger? So there are many reasons why I should be thankful, and here we go with the list! (Hopefully I don't forget anything)

• I'm so thankful for my parents. Many times in my life, I know Iprobably don't act like I'm thankful to them, but they truly are the best parents in the world. I wouldn't want different parents to have raised me. They taught me so many good habits and life lessons, and they raised me in the Church so well. I owe them soooo much forever and always.
• My sister (Ginnie) is another person I'm so thankful to have in my life. We've definitely gone through our ups and downs, but I think overall, everything has built up so we can be so close and become not only sisters, butbest friends!! I will stand by her any day, especially when she's the only sibling I've got. She can tolerate my impatience, and that's tough!! I owe her so much, too!!

• Next, I'm thankful for the great friends I have in my life who have influenced my life for the better. I've had hard times and they've been there to help me out! I really wouldn't be where I am now without them all. Old and new, super close or just acquaintances, people do come into our lives for a reason. Mis amigos de Ogden: I thank you all! There are many of you guys who I've literally grown up with and I'm so glad to haveknown you all. Life would not even be near as great asit has become! :) And those who I've met here in Provo: there are still a ton of you that I know, but not well. Yet there are also those who I've had the chance to get to know well. No matter how close we are, thank you for the opportunity to get to know you!! You're all great examples to me, especially here at BYU, where stress is high haha! Thank you all!!!

• Next, I'm thankful for music. Oh man oh man, where would I bewithout this amazing creation? I'm even listening to music right now as I type this. Music really is the #1 thing that can influence me very well. And it could describe my life pretty well! I don't even know where to start on how thankful I am to have music in my life. Singing, playing, listening to it while I do things, no matter what's going on in my life, 99% of the time there's some sort of music that's associated with it. Music=

• I'm also very thankful to be at BYU. Go cougars!!! This schoolis just amazing. Everyone here is so studious and the professors definitely know what they're doing. I feel so privileged to study at this prestigious school. And to major in Physics--Astronomy!! I really am glad that I'm at a university where the church is incorporated in the system as well; it lifts my spirits up for sure. Thank you BYU.

• I'm also thankful for books and authors. Soundsnerdy, but it's true. I'm so glad that there are those people who can write stories that can take my mind anywhere and make me think freely as I read the book. Books can educate, expand your imagination, and make the impossible possible, which is why they are so great.

• I could go on forever, but I realize that this is getting lengthy so I will stop with this one. I'm so thankful to the church I belong to and to my Heavenly Father who has given me my life and has blessed me with so many things to be thankful about. Without Him, there would be nothing in life to appreciate. I hope to show my gratefulness to Him through serving others, and being a good person on this Earth.

Be thankful for what you have in your life, for there is no life on this Earth that has nothing to be thankful for. Take a moment and look at your life and see the great things in life. Think positively, keep your chin up, and smile lots!!! Thanks to everyone who is in my life, and for anyone who reads my blogs haha. Love you all~ :)
