Hiiiiiii... it's been ages and a day since I've actually been on my blog but I stumbled upon this entry I started last year and felt now was a good time to actually finish it as we've just celebrated another Thanksgiving. I had a really great Thanksgiving here in Chongqing this year. I was battling a bit of homesickness as I knew everyone back home was with family... but I had great people here who got to experience their first Thanksgiving. And then we had a big shin-dig on Saturday with a bunch'a people. Good turkey, potatoes, and lots of laughs. No pumpkin pie though so that was a bit of a bummer deal there.
Anyway, here's the list. Miss y'all back home. Wish I could with ya in person, but you'll have to settle for my thoughts instead.
November 16: I am thankful for the small things in life that can bring joy to someone.
November 17: I'm thankful to have a roof over my head and a bed to sleep in. Traveling really has opened my eyes to the hardships that many people in this world have to endure on a daily basis.
November 18: I'm thankful that I have people in my life who are genuinely good people. They continue to grow me as a person and challenge me to be a better person every day.
November 19: I'm thankful that God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He is the one constant thing in life and His word does not change.... ever.
November 20: I'm thankful for my health - even though sometimes I feel like I should be living in a bubble :)
November 21: I'm thankful for Diet DP... and can't wait until that glorious moment when I can drink one again!
November 22: I'm thankful for all the hardships I've faced in my life. If I hadn't experienced them, I wouldn't have learned the lessons I was meant to have learned from them.
November 23: I'm thankful for the many different ways in which I have grown since coming to Abu Dhabi and China. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined some of the experiences I've had here. Some of them I didn't even know existed!
November 24: How can you do a "thankful for" list in November and not include pumpkin pie?!? I am so thankful for the person that first made this wonderfully delicious dessert.
November 25: I am thankful for my little brother. He has gone through so much in his life and is someone I have always admired. I hope that one day you will be able to show the world all that you have to offer and really get to shine!
November 26: I'm thankful for laughter. It has to be one of the most beautiful sounds in the world.
November 27: Music. I am thankful for music and all the healing and joy it can make you feel while getting lost in the song.
November 28: I am thankful for my class this year. They are such a joy to get to spend the day with each and every day. Seriously. Couldn't have asked for better kids.
November 29: I am thankful for people who are placed in your life that bring out things in yourself you never thought you had or that you thought you had lost somewhere along the years.
November 30: I am thankful that after a whole year, I have finally finished my list of things that I am thankful for.
