15 Unordinary Moments To Be Grateful For

Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, serving as a small reminder to be thankful for everything and everyone that we've been blessed with. As you celebrate the kick-off of the holiday season, don't forget to thank God for these unordinary moments you may forget about.

1. Embracing a long distance friend.

When you haven't seen your best friend in several weeks, your time with them is so much more meaningful. Hugs are just a way of expressing that sweet reunion.

2. That movie that always makes you laugh.

You know, that one movie that always gets you rolling on the floor? Yeah, that one.

3. When someone sees your hands full and holds open the door for you.

Or when people hold open the door for you any time. Either way, it's a kind gesture that shouldn't be overlooked.

4. That first bite into a Chick-fil-A sandwich.

You know the feeling: that juicy bite of sweet chicken with that smooth texture of the bread, topped with Chick-Fil-A sauce is incredible.

5. That moment when your food arrives at the restaurant.

Now everyone has to agree, this is by far a phenomenal moment to be thankful for. The suspense has built up way too long and you're ready to calm down your tastebuds.

6. When your favorite song comes on in the car.

Admit it, you’ve totally flailed your arms when your jam comes through the speakers. It’s like destiny is on your side.

7. When you don't have to set an alarm the next morning.

A few more hours of sleep?? Holla up in here!

8. When a stranger exchanges a smile with you.

That moment when you lock eyes with someone you've literally never seen before, but for some reason you smile and they smile back.

9. That moment you realize it's the weekend.

TGIF!! You've been waiting all week for this moment!

10. Catching something that someone throws at you.

Whether it's that t-shirt at the game, or just some trash someone needs thrown away, it's a fantastic feeling.

11. Finding a dollar bill in your pocket.

You know what they say: a penny saved is a penny earned. It's even better when you realize it's a $20 bill.

12. Waking up feeling refreshed and well-rested.

Isn't this the greatest feeling? You're energized and ready to take on the day. And maybe you don't even need coffee!

13. The belly-drop feeling on the first drop of the roller coaster.

Your insides shoot up and you may start screaming, but it's totally worth it.

14. Hitting every green light on your commute.

What an efficient use of time! And they all wonder why you're early...

15. The feeling of accomplishment when you've completed a big project.

Whether you've worked on something for hours, days, weeks, or months, the feeling of accomplishment is overwhelming-and so is the urge to celebrate.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
