What I am Thankful For
Inspired by my mom’s recent post about what she is thankful for I have decided to write my own. I will start with:
Toast - If toasted to perfection with just the right amount of butter evenly spread across the top, and eaten while warm
Movies - For bringing such amazing worlds and story lines to life and providing me with hours of entertainment.
Sam - The older brother everyone would want, caring, easy to talk to, intelligent, doesn’t annoy me Every hour of the day. I can always ask him for help with homework, or even tell him I feel like a Blizzard and he will take me to go get one! He gets enthusiastic about things and wants me to be too, so he’ll explain stuff to me.
Straws - They make drinking beverages even funner! Especially when they are brightly colored.
Music - Pleasant sounds to listen to, in so many different styles.
My music playing abilities - I enjoy my playing and delight others around me who want to hear.
My mom - My mom is one of the awesome-est people I know, she’s understanding, helpful, thorough in her work, determined, organized, silly.
My dad - My wonderous dad who works so I can have nice clothes, and food (especially toast) who plays his guitar in the evening, who likes to cook yummy food, who makes sure I get up in the morning to go to school…
Computers - Without them nothing would get done so efficently and look neat.
Internet - I, like so many other people, am thankful for the internet! I even wrote an essay about how it’s a very beneficial invention in English.
Blankets - They’re so soft and warm and cuddly
Cell phones - How else would I randomly say, “rawr!” to my friends whenever I feel like it?
Briana - She’s just about as weird as I am, and has been my best friend since 2nd grade. Just because I said “Hi”. She’s always there to be weird with me, let me tell her whatever random thing I’m thinking about, and to comfort me.
Candy - Milky Ways, Skittles, and Starbursts in particular. They’re so yummy!
Bow ties - Oh, how fashionable…
Cameras - They can document memories and when you look back at the pictures it’s fun to reminisce.
Socks - My feet get cold otherwise, and some funky socks are very cute.
John - The amazing, wonderful, intelligent, kind, responsible, polite, tall, compassionate, optimistic, boyfriend of mine who smiles when he sees me, enjoys walking me home and crunching leaves, lip-syncs to music on the radio as we ride the bus to school, walks on the side of the sidewalk closest to the street (he worries about ‘maniac drivers’ ), and stays up and talks to me over the weekends.
Flowers - Even though I think some of them are creepy, they’re still really pretty.
Books - Along with movies, they bring fantastical worlds and intriguing story lines into my imagination.
Space - It provides so many interesting things that are out there to learn about and discover.
Fall - After the hot summer months, I love fall for cooling things down, making overcast skies (my favorite! -in the day) and providing crunchy leaves.
Spell-check - Without it, nobody would be able to understand what I write.
Lists - An organized way of collecting thoughts.
There you have it, some things I’m thankful for ![]()

Wow, what a list! Who’d of thunk that one could be thankful for so many random things?
You DO have an awesome family, and it sounds like you have a great friend and a fabulous boyfriend, as well. They are lucky to have YOU, as well!
I’m thankful that that’s not the only picture of me out there….(although Mom says I deserve it for making the face in the first place).
Nice list. You would be pretty lost without books. Or space.
Or Sam. Gotta be thankful for all those. Oh, and music, too, for sure. And friends. And internet and all that other stuff.
Oh yes, you just wouldn’t be J’Neil without toast.
