I Really Am Thankfull

By Alina Popescu on November 26th, 2007 in Thoughts I Came Across

Thanksgiving has passed and I didn’t even notice it. We don’t celebrate it in Romania, of course, so it does not mean much to me. But today I’ve come across this post written by Yvonne Russel over at Grow your Writing Business. While the reason to celebrate says nothing to me, the spirit of Thanksgiving, remembering what I should be thankful for, really appeals to me. Simply because we all have a great deal to be thankful for, to cherish, but we forget it all because of our busy life.

While the daily nonsense is a real reason, it’s not a very good excuse. So here’s my lists for things I’m thankful for.

  • My parents, especially my mom
  • My health and the well-being of those I love
  • My boyfriend
  • My friends, of which quite a few are online (at least 80% of my blogroll)
  • Not having serious accidents while driving
  • All the presents I received this year, they were all amazing
  • The expressions of those I gave presents to all year
  • My job and my colleagues
  • My professional victories, larger ones and small ones alike
  • The dream vacation I’ve had and the other short one coming at the end of the year

And the list could go on and on…How long is your list?

    Short list for me. Mostly, I’m thankful I knew her
    at all. Plus all the other stuff I’ve been blessed with but at times
    take for granted.

    My list would be pretty long too. It’s good to be thankful all year round.

    Thanks for the mention of Grow Your Writing Business Alina.

    As you say the spirit of Thanksgiving and being appreciative is something we can all identify with, worldwide.

    Ryan, I think if you add all the things you
    overlook, you get to a looong list also :) Safiya, you are right, it should be an everyday feeling :) Hi Yvonne, it was my pleasure :) Along with Thanksgiving, I think we can come up with another long list
    of holidays and celebrations whose spirit can touch anyone, regardless
    of geographic and religious differences.
