This is the annual day that all Americans are supposed to give thanks, and I need to narrow down what I am thankful for for the purpose of this post.
1. a healthy body that can run, walk, dance and move freely at my own will
2. Eyes that see, ears that hear, a voice that can sing and talk with others
3. a good job where I work with people who support and care about me, unlike other jobs offered to teenagers which are seen as places of dysfunction and dread
4. an able brain which can learn and think and process information
5. An imperfect family
6. a mother who never allows a shortage of food in the house...
7. a puppy who loves me and gets excited every time I walk in the door
8. A home in a safe neighborhood in a district of a prestigious public school
9. many different "families" who support me: Debate family, immediate family, extended family, lacrosse family, creative writing family etc.
10. semi-intelligent parents
11. my out of control hair
12. friends who will help me in any bad situation
13. the ability to travel and see new places in the world
14. indoor heating - although I don't think my mom turns it on often
15. my lifetime fitness membership
16. my cell phone
17. teachers who I feel safe to talk to about issues that you wouldn't talk about with any random person.
Of course there are many more things I can't think of that I need to express gratitude for, but for now this is what I will focus on as far as reasons for happiness.
