Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving. The time to sit down, eat copious amounts of food, and give thanks. So, in that spirit, I'm going to write a blog post about some of the things I'm thankful for. And I'm starting this early, so I'll be able to post it before I leave for my Aunt and Uncle's house. So here it goes. In no particular order.

Music. I'm very thankful that I'm able to sit here, with music coming out of my computer speakers as I type this. I'm thankful that I have so much music that I love, and so much music that reminds me of other times and other moods. I'm thankful that I'm going to get Charlie's CD in a week or two. I might get so excited about it that I also buy a digital copy, with an itunes gift card I have. I'm thankful about that. I'm thankful that I was able to go see the Weepies and that I have their new CD. I'm thankful that my dad plays many musical instruments, and that he's playing his trumpet right now.

Family. I'm very thankful for my family. I'm thankful that these are the people I'm related to, my mom and dad, my brothers, cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents, cousins' kids, cousins' boy/girlfriends. These are my people, and I love them so much. I'm very happy that I get to see some of them today.

Food. I'm super thankful for all the delicious food that I'm going to consume today. Also all the varied food with all sorts of flavors and spices that comes from all over the country, if not the world. I'm so lucky that I live in America in this century, where we have such an abundance and variety of food.

Friends. I'm so so thankful for my friends. I really don't know how I would have survived high school without you guys. I love all of my friends so much and am so grateful that I got the privilege of knowing you guys. I knew that I can trust you with anything, and that you'll still love me. Thanks for being there for me.

God. Words cannot even describe how thankful I am to God and how grateful I am for everything he's done for me. Just yesterday I was in the Family Christian Bookstore with my mom, because she wanted to pick up a CD, and I wandered over to the bible section. I wanted to buy a Message bible, because I couldn't find the copy that James gave me a long time ago. All of the ones I found were super expensive, so I gave up. But when I got to the counter with something else I found (it's a surprise for you people who go to New Day. You'll see on Sunday), I noticed a copy of the Message below the counter with a bunch of other stuff. The clerk said that everything there was five dollars. So I got my new version of the bible, and it was totally God. Plus, he's done so much for me, and I'm eternally grateful for him. He saved me, and not only that, but he continues to save me. And he loves me. I'm so thankful for God.

Books. I'm so very thankful for books. They're amazing, and I love them so much.

Movies. Similarly, I really enjoy movies and I'm so thankful that they exist and that I have the resources to buy them so I can watch my favorites whenever I want.

My roommate. I'm very thankful that Maggie is my roommate. We get along great, and are friends. We make each other laugh and enjoy living with each other. I miss her when I don't see her for a few days. Basically, I really lucked out in the roommate situation. Except it wasn't luck. It was God. Thanks God!

The list goes on and on. I'm so thankful for everything! Well, not everything. Just most things.
