Contemplations

I think it's easy on holiday's like Thanksgiving, to either get caught up with the mountains of food, or by making a battle plan on how to attack the next morning of shopping. But in the end that's not the point, it's to be thankful. Sometimes I think its funny that we have a day set aside to be thankful, since we should be thankful everyday. It's almost an excuse to take a day off of work and school or something.

Nonetheless, I'll be exceptionally thankful tomorrow... it will be almost a year since we discovered Dad had cancer, and now he's been cancer free for six months. But there's so much more! Ellen started driving this year and nobody died, speaking of death my car hasn't died yet either. We've had food on our table everyday of the year, I've survived half a year of school classes, and I have amazing friends and family who love and support me at my best and worst moments. But even if I didn't have any of those things I would still be thankful because I have my Savior who is with me all the time, listening to my every need and being patient when I'm not.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
