Things to be Thankful for Thanksgiving

Whenever you ask someone what they are thankful for this Thanksgiving, they will always reply to you with the same answers you hear every year. “My family”, “My friends”, and “ My video games, or phone”, but really, there are so many different things that a person can be thankful for.

Things that you don't care about that much until they are taken away

There are so many things that you don't think about until you lose them. For example, imagine being deprived of electricity for 24 hours. No Wi-Fi, no TV, no charging your phone, washing your clothes, or turning on the lights. Living like that for a day would be horrible. So, you should always remember to be thankful for everything, including the little things.

The small things

Think about your bed that has clean bed sheets on it, or about your friends who, when you feel down, cheer you up, or even the fact that you have running water 24/7. Or maybe even taking a bite of your favorite food, which you haven't had in a while. You should be thankful for all of these little things, because not everybody might have what you have.

Your health

Do you remember the last time you weren't feeling well and you had a body ache? You would have given anything just to feel normal again. So every day, remember to be thankful for the fact that you don't wake up all the time with a pounding headache, a runny nose, or congestion.

Conclusion

In conclusion, you should always remember to be thankful for everything in life. Even the small things, because even though you may think they are small, not everybody may have them or access to them.
