Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Just wanted to take the time to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! Never in my life have I been so excited for Thanksgiving! For me this year, it has a whole new meaning. Not only does it mean I get to eat "real" food (aka, not cafeteria food), it is a whole day to wallow in my thankfulness. Living at college has really made me appreciate all the little daily wonders of living at home: having my own room and my own bathroom! Having peace and quiet. Being with people I love instead of living with complete strangers! It all sounds so simple and ordinary until you don't have it around everyday. I had a teacher once who always said, "Be thankful for what you have because you never know when it might be gone." While it sounds a little extreme, it is so true and I feel it every day. There are so many days when I just want a hug from my mom after a stressful test. But in being here, the best I can do is call her. So when I'm home, every hug means tens times more than it usually does. So, while you are home for the holiday, take the time to really, truly be thankful for every little thing you have. Because really, they are pretty significant when you take a step back to look at them. What are YOU thankful for this year?? Happy Thanksgiving! That Thankful University Girl =)
