I also want to take some time to share a few of the thinks that I am thankful for this year. (Please note: The following list is in no particular order.)
1. I am thankful for a God that never turns His back on me and is always there when I need Him. This year has been a really tough year with many medical issues for both me and those close to me. Although no one seems to have the answers to cure some of these issues, I am grateful to God for being here with me through it all and bringing people into my life to support me. I also am grateful that God has kept me safe when things could have ended a lot worse.
2. I am grateful for my best friend Eleanor, EJ. EJ has been God's blessing to me for the last five years and she continues to be there for me at any given moment when I need her advice or just someone to vent to. She is also my Tuesday evening escape as she takes me to church choir rehearsal and then Dairy Queen each week. I am so happy to have EJ in my life. I love you EJ!
3. I am thankful for my family. Sure, we don't always get along or want to be on speaking terms, but we are together and we have some nice family moment. We can support each other when it is needed and can make each other laugh when it needed. When harder times come, we are there for each other and help everyone get through whatever it is.
4. I am grateful for my teachers. This year I have been blessed with amazing teachers both in school and in cyber. I don't know what I would do without these teachers who have been wonderful. They have helped me grow and become better at writing and many other things that I could not even begin to describe. They are so supportive of my work and push me to do better. My teachers are amazing and I am so happy to be part of their classes.
5. I am thankful for the freedoms that we have here in the United States of America. I know that we have many conflicts with some of the things happening within the country but we are still the country of freedoms. This is still something to be proud of.
6. I am very grateful for all my blog readers. Without you, I would have no reason to keep posting blogs for you. I am so happy I have you and I love hearing back from you. And as always, I love hearing from you. I want to know what you are thankful for this year. And please, if you have questions you would like me to answer or are in need of advice please feel free to contact me and I would be so happy to blog about it or respond to you individually. You can contact me at contact.sarah.blogger@gmail.com
7. I am thankful for my amazing boyfriend, Kevin. Tomorrow marks one year since Kevin and I started talking with each other. As he and I determined a few days ago, we have Target and their RedCards to thank for the relationship he and I have today. Working together on Black Friday last year, my massive amount of RedCards caused Kevin to beg me for my "secret." Although it took a few more weeks for us to start daily conversation and a few months of friendship to have a relationship, I would not have it any other way. Kevin is the very best thing that has ever been given to me and we have the best relationship I could ever ask for. It isn't a Hallmark, picture perfect relationship but it is perfect for me. Kevin has done more for me in the last year than I could ever begin to list. I love him so much and I wouldn't trade him for the world.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!
