With Thanksgiving around, I thought it'd be a great idea to tell you what I'm thankful for this year. I'm incredibly blessed, and should count my blessings more often. This is why I love the holiday season! We really get to focus on giving, and all of the wonderful things in our lives. In no particular order, here's the list I've come up with:
- Family- This one's a no brainer! My family is amazing! They're warm, supportive, and great people to be around. My parents especially have really shaped who I am today. And yes, I'm thankful for my brother as well! He's got a great sense of humor and can make me laugh even when I'm down. I'm also thankful for my grandma, who sends boxes full of American goodies!
- Friends- I think it's important to surround yourself with trusting friends, and luckily, I've found some here in Dubai. They make hectic Dubai life seem much more inviting, and I don't get as homesick anymore. While living in Cyprus, I experienced having no friends, so I definitely appreciate each and every one of them!
- Homeschool- I currently take online courses through K12, and I absolutely love it! The courses are very informative, fun, and enriching. I love homeschooling in general because it allows for a flexible schedule, and it has helped me grow as a person.
- iPad- I know this is a material possession, but my iPad has honestly made my life a lot more fun! I can watch movies, listen to music, and flip through magazines all on one tablet! It's made the 16 hour plane rides back home more bearable.
- Starbucks- I don't indulge too often, but when I do it's an absolute treat! Especially with the amazing holiday selections out, I can hardly choose between the Pumpkin Spice Latte or the White Peppermint Mocha!
- Tumblr/ Blogspot- I love these blog sites because it allows me to post my thoughts and pictures while following other people of similar interest.
- Peter Piper's Pizza- Their pizza is possibly the greatest thing to grace my taste buds.
- Piano/keyboard- I love having a full-sized keyboard that allows me to recreate and learn some of my favorite classical and pop pieces!
I hope you all have a fabulous Thanksgiving!
