Thanksgiving is almost here! I personally could not be more excited. There is nothing better than spending a day with family, eating lots of delicious food and watching football (well more like listening to football in the background). In spirit of this fabulous holiday, I give you: 10 Things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.

1. No school!

Okay, this is a really simple one, but I am seriously so happy to have a little break from classes. It's that time of the semester where a long weekend and a little R & R is much needed.

2. Family and Friends

Thanksgiving is a great time to really evaluate the relationships and people in your life. It is so important to take time and thank the people in your life that have stood behind you and supported you through it all every day, but especially on Thanksgiving.

3. Your job/school

Okay so your job and classes may not always be peaches and cream, but you are working toward your goals and progressing in life. That is always something to be thankful for!

4. Turkey Day Food!

It's the meal you wait all year to have. Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pie...what else could you ask for?

5. Weekends!

The best 2/7 of the week! Seriously, though, these two days are my motivation for the rest of the week. Monday through Friday is just a way to pass time between weekends.

6. Laughter

There are few things as beautiful as the simple joy of laughter. It is one of the most pure things, and it can make your day instantly better. "Laughter is the best medicine."

7. Nature

This planet is truly a gift. It is easy to take for granted all the amazing things Earth has to offer, so send a shout out to Mother Nature this Thanksgiving!

8. Simple comforts

You know, like fuzzy blankets, hot tea, bubble baths and hugs. The small things that just make life a little bit better.

9. Pets

There is something about the unconditional love of a pet that just makes life so much better. Give your pet an extra tight squeeze this Turkey day!

10. Today

You woke up today, you are loved and you have the opportunity to make your day great! That is something to be extremely thankful for.

The list could go on and on. There are so many things to be grateful every day. Take some time this thanksgiving to give attention to all the amazing things going on in your life because all though it may not seem like it at times, there really are so many incredible things to be thankful for. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!
