Things To Be Thankful For This Thanksgiving
Positively Present

First of all, we should not only be thankful for things just on Thanksgiving Day. We should be thankful for them everyday. If you are a "big picture person" like me, you will find a lot of things that we need to start being more thankful for.

1. Be thankful that you are here.

When you wake up every morning, that is a blessing that we should not take for granted. We never know when someone's last day will be so if you are still living your life, be thankful for that opportunity.

2. Be thankful for family.

Family to me is very important. I would not be where I am today if it were not for them. I am thankful for their support and love through all I have been throughout the years. Some people out there do not have a family. Love yours while you can. Always be kind.

3. Be thankful for friends.

I have an amazing small group of friends who I would do anything for. I am also thankful for their love and support and for always being there. My best friends are a gift from God.

4. Be thankful for the food on the table.

Always be grateful that you are able to eat a real meal every day. Not everyone has the opportunity to have all the food that you are about to eat. Do not be greedy and do not be picky. Simply just be thankful.

5. Be thankful for the roof over your head.

Once again, not everyone has this luxury. Never take the things that you have for granted. Someone is going without what you have.

There are so many reasons to be thankful, not only on Thanksgiving, but everyday. Make the best of any situation and always be thankful for having everything you need, even if you don't have everything you may want.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
