Thanksgiving

So, today is/was Thanksgiving. I would normally spend it at my grandparent's house eating food and talking... of course, that didn't happen this year.... Germany is a little far away for weekend trip home :)

Being that it is Thanksgiving, I think that it's as good a day as any to list all of the things I am thankful for.

1. I am alive and healthy (maybe not in shape but still)
2. I am abroad in Germany (amazing) on a scholarship (rare)
3. I have an incredibly nice and welcoming host family (and from what I have heard from others on my program, that is something to be thankful for)
4. I have some great friends
5.I have a great family that loves me (I hope :) )

I know that there are many more things I am Thankful for....

I am thankful that there weren't more people that were hurt from Hurricane Sandy.
I am thankful that the world is evolving slowly but surely.
I am thankful that tomorrow is a new day.
I am thankful that we live in a world that allows the sky to be the limit and anything to be possible if you try hard enough.


I hope that everyone allows themselves to recognize how lucky they are in one way or another and continue to try.


I hope everyone had/has a fantastic Thanksgiving full of love, thanks, and lots and lots of food.

Sending my love, thanks, and greetings from Germany,
