10 things I am Thankful for

1. I am most grateful for my loving family. My family is the type of family that will always be there no matter what. I have strict parents, but brothers that are carefree and fun. The mix of both carefree brothers and strict parents helps me to see that you must have some fun with what you take seriously in life.

2. The second thing that I am most grateful for is my religion, Christianity. I am so thankful for God and all of the things he dose for my family and I, especially when my family and I are going through herd times. I am glad to know that when others can’t be there when I need them, God can be there to help see me through.

3. The third thing that I am most grateful for is food! Oh where do I start with food I just love it so much! Well first of all I am thankful my family can afford food and much of it. Second I am thankful that food just tastes so very good, without awesome tasting food I would be a very dull person.

4. Health, it only makes sense to me that my health should be at the top of this list. If I did not have my health I would not be able to do some of the things that I love to do, I might not be able even to move. So I am thankful for the ability to be healthy and to help others that are not.

5. Cookie! I am so very thankful for my amassing, wonderful, beautiful, puppy Cookie that I got for Christmas last year. She really brightens up my day and makes me happy when I am sad. Without her, I don’t know what I would do.

6. The sixth thing that I am most grateful for is my education. Many people are having a dilemma with money right now and cannot afford an education for their children. I am very lucky to be able to come into school every day and to be able to learn what I need to so I can live a promising life when I am older.

7. My parents homes are number seven on the list. I am lucky to know that my parents have enough money during this fanatical crisis that the United States is having right now to be able to afford there own home as many others cannot. You my have realized I said parents homes, my parents are divorced and live in separate homes. Living in separate homes makes it that much harder for many people to pay the bills, but thank god my parents are doing ok.

8. The eighth thing that I am most grateful for is my friends. I am extremely thankful that I have many friends that are nice and caring. Many people have or had in the past a problem with not having many friends, this is becoming more and more of a problem in the United States because I believe we are becoming less and less accepting even though of our efforts to become more accepting.

9. Transportation is ninth on my list. Without transportation my mom would not be able to go to her job every day and she might not be able to afford her house. Many of my friends and family members rely on transportation to get to school, or their job, ECT, and without it would not be in a good position.

10. Last but sure not least, I am thankful for the hoidays. The holidays always seem to make me happy weather it is the fact that my family gets together for the holidays, or that everyone just seems to be happier around the holidays, it just brings me joy.
