Thankful.

Cliche time to write this post, right? Wrong. There is still an hour until Thanksgiving Day... Ya know, the day set aside to be thankful; the day we celebrate out thankfulness surrounded by friends and family.

So yes, I am thankful. I am thankful for where I have been. I am thankful for where I am. Most importantly I am thankful for where I am going.

But life isn't easy. Never has been; never will be. But "each day is a gift not a given right". As Peter Pan responded when Wendy asked if his adventures were over, he said: "No, oh no, life is an adventure." Not only is it an adventure; its a blessing and I do not need a single day of the year deemed thanksgiving to acknowledge that.

I am thankful for my family and friends who always believe in me, encourage me, rejoice and suffer with me, and who love me. I am thankful for God and for the life he has given me, the eternal life he offers me, and the opportunities/path He has blessed me with. Looking forward to the end of the semester and looking forward to what is in store for me in the spring. And let me tell you one last thing.... I will be thankful every day, each and every step of the way.
