November 13: I am thankful for good friends. I may have moved over a thousand miles away, but I know I still have good friends who will be there for me (most of them, at least).
November 14: I am thankful for new friends. I've had some difficulty making new friends since moving to Colorado. We live in a tiny town so, we have limited options for friendships; especially since all of our neighbors have families (less time and energy). However, I have been able to make a few new friends, and they are all cool people. :)
November 15: I am thankful for my freedom... even if the government is trying to take it away.
November 16: I am thankful that I do not have to fly this holiday season. I am so thankful that I do not have to be exposed to potentially harmful porno scanners or sexual assaults sanctioned by our government.
November 17: I am thankful that the entire nation is not completely composed of sheep. I am thankful that there are at least some people left in the United States who are not completely under the mind control of the government.
November 18: I am thankful for delicious food. I have been baking for weeks now (one of the reasons I have not been blogging much) and the food is fantastic. I am thankful that I have a kitchen in which to cook, money to buy the ingredients, and the deliciousness of the final results. :)
November 19: I am thankful for my family. Some of them are a bit crazy at times, but they are good people. They all might not be what people would call "classy" but they are always there for me. They have supported me through everything and I wouldn't trade them for the world.
November 20: I am thankful for good health. I managed to get food poisoning or something at the Avalanche game last Monday, but for the most part, I am a healthy individual. I haven't been truly sick (cold, flu, etc.) in years. It is definitely something to be thankful for.
November 21: I am thankful for good neighbors and an excellent neighborhood. We are just renting, but we love our house. The neighborhood is safe and most of the neighbors are friendly. I say most because we do have one neighbor who just is not very friendly.
November 22: I am thankful to have been able to travel to so many amazing places. The other day I was thinking about our honeymoon to Italy and how awesome it is going to be. Then I thought about how awesome Italy was last time. And about my trip to the Republic of Korea. Then I started going through pictures of all the places I've been... all over the U.S (including Alaska) and even a few places overseas. I am very fortunate. :)
November 23: I am thankful that I have not managed to screw up anything really big in my life. I managed to get a degree (even if I'm not really using my major). I managed to not get knocked up out of wedlock (or as a teen). I haven't been divorced. I have a stable job. I have healthy relationships. When I look at some of the people I knew in high school, I am very thankful that I have managed to avoid making those huge mistakes. I know that if I would have, I would have dealt with them and stayed positive, but I know my life is easier without having screwed up.
November 24: I am thankful that I am brave. Not brave in that I will fight a bear or something crazy like that. Brave in that I am willing to make big, scary changes; like moving to Colorado. Packing up everything I own and moving 1,700 miles away was terrifying (especially without job prospects), but I am SO glad that we did it. It has been amazing and I LOVE Colorado.
