giving thanks

1. how do i always manage to eat so much food?! it was such a good day. filled with family and food and drink and fun. 
2. decorating the house for christmas tomorrow, and then decorating the tree on saturday. the house is about to be full of christmas-y goodness!
3. i still have this feeling looming over my head that i need to work on my presentation. it's due on monday at 3 pm and i have barely started. it is definitely a cause for concern.

i am full of thanks (especially, but certainly not exclusively) on this day for so much! i am happy to have my health and my full ability to enjoy this holiday season. i am thankful for my favorite family and that they are all in good health as well. my friends, who i have become close with over the past year, have made my life happier and funnier. i am thankful for my boyfriend and that we have persevered. i am so thankful for where i live and how beautiful it is here! and that i go to a great school and am studying what i love and meeting so many people. i am thankful that i live in a fortunate country and enjoy so many rights. i am thankful for so much in my life and want to remember to remember all of this every day. thanksgiving is a day to feel extra grateful for all that is in my life. hope everyone had a great day! oh, and i am thankful that i am not going to black friday tomorrow.
