I've read a lot about the troubling past of this holiday, and I'm super looking forward to Kate Messner's new series History Smashers, which starts with a tale about the Mayflower.
That said, Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to consider all the things we are grateful for. Gratitude is something we don't seem to have enough of in this world, so here are my top five things I'm grateful for:
1. My family.
(These people are my rock. They are there for me in all the best and worst and mediocre-est moments of my life. I would be lost without them).
2. A book coming out next year.
(I don't take this for granted at all. Getting a book published is tough. No matter what road you take. And heck, even writing one is a BIG DEAL! So much gratitude that I'm in a position I can both write them, and have the opportunity to have one published.)
3. My faith in God, and my beliefs.
(I don't talk about this much here on my blog, but my beliefs are my compass. They give me direction, and I'm who I am because of them.)
4. My friends
(IRL ones, writing ones, social media ones, ALL OF YOU! Wish I had a big picture with you all in it, but I don't. Sorry if you aren't shown, I still love you and am grateful for you!)
5. Cookies.
(Whoever invented them, THANK YOU!)
Happy Thanksgiving! And please tell me what you are grateful for! I'd love to hear. :)
