It’s that time of year again! Time to ponder what we are greatful for. I remember Thanksgiving growing up at my house when I was little. We would always eat a light breakfast, if we ate anything at all, and then we’d go over to my Grandmother’s at about 11 AM, and the smell of baking dressing and turkey would hit our noses. The numerous pies we made (two chocolate cream, a coconut cream, and a pumpkin) would be in the fridge, and we would do the best we could to resist sneaking a taste. This, of course, did not apply to when the turkey came out of the oven. In our family we never carved the turkey at the table. My aunt and uncle always did the job of carving it and platterizing it before we ate, and then we would serve ourselves buffet style in my grandmother’s small kitchen and bring our plates to the table and eat. What was I saying about the turkey? Oh yeah, so when my aunt and uncle would carve this thing, we would always take pieces of the turkey skin and eat it before the meal. My sister and I still do this today (although we aren’t as greedy as when we were younger lol). I tell you what, turkey skin pre-meal is one of the finer things in life. I think my Mom has figured this out too as every now and then I see her sneak a taste as well. Anyway enough about the food. Here is a list of what I am thankful for this year:
1) My friends and family
2) The fact that I was born in America
3) The fact that I have never gone hungry
4) The fact that for the most part, my loved ones and I are healthy
5) The fact that I am 25 and have a job in my field of study that allows me to support myself
6) The fact that I had a great childhood
7) The Internet, and cell phones – I’ve been alive long enough to know what it was like before either existed for personal use 
Nintendo Wi – What a cool game system!
9) Books – Love em
10) The fact that I am not a turkey
11) Did I mention my friends and family? Yeah you guys are awesome…
That’s what I am thankful for. What about everyone else? Feel free to leave comments sharing what YOU are thankful for this year. And Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
