I am THANKFUL ...

10/9/2014

As we head towards this Thanksgiving weekend, it seems a fitting time to reflect on all we have. We always hear how lucky we are, how great we have, how things are so awesome for us, but we don't always feel that way. This week, I want you to think about what is it that you have? What sort of things make you so lucky? Even though life isn't always easy (it's definitely not), we are very blessed. Take some time to think about what matters most in your life, what people do you have, who supports you, what sort of things are you thankful for. In your posted comments (below) write down 3-5 things (or people) that you feel extremely thankful for. Make sure you write a reason for each of your ideas. I have written out two things I am thankful for as an example for you.

I am thankful for my family, for Jacey, Vera, and my extended family. I feel so blessed to have a healthy family, a happy baby, and their love and support. It means so much to me to know that when I'm feeling down, up or anyway in between I can talk to anyone in my family and that they'll listen.
I am thankful for the opportunity to be a teacher at River Oaks. I love my job and I feel grateful that I have the opportunity to teach at an amazing school like River Oaks. I am thankful for all the chances I get to share and glean knowledge from my students, the staff, admin, and the parent community. River Oaks is such an amazing community and I'm thankful that I get to work here.

Please post your 3-5 ideas below in the comments.

I am thankful for many things.

1) I am thankful for my family, I am thankful for my family because I know they love and care about me, and when I am having a bad day they cheer me up. Also my mom goes out of her way to do the laundry, make dinner, and do chores around the house. Also My dad wakes up early every morning, and goes on the go train, to work for hours to earn money for me and my family, to live off of.

2) I am thankful for a roof over my head and food + clean water. I am thankful for all of this because I know that most kinds in different countries don't get all this supply and can't live a happy and healthy life.

3) Lastly I am thankful for the friends that I have. I am thankful for this because, when I am down or when I'm bored there are always there for me and I am very thankful because they always get me through tough times, and we enjoy the good times.

I could go on a long list of things I am thankful for.

I am thankful for so many things here are a few things I am thankful for:

1) I am so thankful for my family and friends that care for me and have shaped me into who I am today and they have the way I see things. My family and friends have supported me through rough times to help me get through them, they are always there when I am having a bad day to make it better and cheer me up. They can make me happy even if I am in a really bad mood and make me feel better about things that I am worried or stressed about. They also help me do my best even if I really don't like what I am doing.

2) The second thing I am thankful for is a home that is full of resources many other countries don't have or can't afford to have in there household, such as clean water because in most countries people have to walk for a long time to get water that is okay for drinking.

3) Education because in some countries girls aren't allowed to go to school and have to work all day instead, and if they have to leave the country for example they wouldn't be able to get a decent job due to lack of education.

4) I am thankful for books because I love reading and it is such a fun pass time

5) Money because it puts food on my table and a place that I can live in

I am thankful for my family because they help me and they let me help them. I like that I can share with my family. I am thankful for all the food and home above our heads because I know that there are kids in the world who don't have a home, have no clean water or food that's easy to get and some of them are even sick and have diseases. I am thankful that my grandma did not die from cancer and was able to make a delicious thanksgiving meal with all my favourite foods like bakes and cheese and ribs. I am thankful that my mom lets me earn toys for being good. I know what I want to earn next.
