Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! You know, I typed up an entire blog post about something else entirely before I remembered it was Thanksgiving - published it, too. n_n; So if you were here before I unpublished it, you may see a "repeated" post tomorrow; sorry about that.

Anyways, what are your plans for today? Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and all that traditional stuff? I think that's pretty much what my family's doing. We might be doing a couple other things today too, who knows. For one thing, I have a lot of homework to work on over break.

However, we're here today to be thankful! So yep, it looks like you're going to have to put up with me being just like everybody else today: listing the things I'm grateful for. ;D

First and foremost, I'm thankful for my Lord Jesus Christ and His gift of salvation. I'm thankful for the family He's placed me in and the home He's given me. I'm thankful for the school He pulled a few strings to get me into, and I'm thankful for the trials He has helped me overcome there.

I'm thankful for days like yesterday, wherein I did nothing but relax. I'm thankful for books, some of my best friends. I'm thankful for games, where I get to control to a degree what happens. I'm thankful for nonograms, which have provided me with many distracting hours of fun and problem-solving and counting, leaving me in the end with a wonderful picture for my troubles.

I'm thankful for songs, to cheer me up or relieve stress or simply express when I'm too happy for anything else. Hey, that kind of rhymed, didn't it? I'm grateful for happy accidental moments, too!

I'm grateful for my hamsters, especially Hamtaro #1, who is lying right beside my laptop at this moment. I'm grateful for Disney. I'm grateful for chocolate. Oh, and I'm thankful for the laptop upon which I'm typing this.

And while I'm at it, I'm most definitely grateful for you! I'm not sure how many of you are regulars at my blog, but I love you all! Even though none of you say anything, it's nice just knowing you're there. ♥
