Thanksgiving week is officially almost over, but it's never too late to be grateful. It's so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and lose sight of what really matters, especially when you're going straight from Thanksgiving into the hullabaloo of Black Friday. After all, nothing says "I'm thankful" like turning around 24 hours later and getting in a fight with a stranger over a 75-inch flat screen TV. The older I get, the more I appreciate things I used to take for granted, so here's a list of 10 things I've found myself appreciating this year.
- A loving, close-knit family
- A warm, safe place to go home to every night
- Food in the kitchen and the ability to get it when I need it
- A good job that challenges my abilities
- The joy of the Christmas season
- Books to take you places when you need to get away
- Our family dog - getting older, but still adorable!
- A funny, supportive friend group to do life with
- Early enough detection of a retinal detachment that it was able to be corrected without significant permanent vision loss
- The opportunity to take trips and have exciting new experiences
