What I Am Thankful For

This is a list of a few things that I am thankful for. When times get rough sometimes you just have to think about the small things in life to get you by. This is what I am thankful for....

I am thankful for....

My life- it is a precious thing.
My mother- even though she is crazy sometimes, she always makes me laugh.
My job- If I didn't have a job, I would not be going to school here right now. Also back home I love rolling those burritos at Pancheros ;)
My health- even though I was hurt at the end of the cross country season, my health could be so much worse.
My hair- It's somewhat long, its bleach blonde naturally, and it is straight so I usually never have to do anything with it.
My baby sister Oksana- She shows me really what love is.
My other sister Chloe- Even when she picks on me, I still love her because I know how much she looks up to me.
My education- I am the first out of my mom and dad to go to college right after high school.
The money I DO have- Even though my family does not have much, we make by with what we have. Matters could be much worse.
My xc team- They push me everyday to be the best I can be. They are also very supportive and loving. I did not have a team like this in high school.
My ability to be fast at running- I work my butt off day in and day out and I am always rewarded by my hard work. I was blessed to be somewhat fast.
God- He gets me through life when my life seem to be tumbling down.
My stepdad Mike- Ever since I was 8 Mike has been in my life. He has provided me with more than I could ever want and has helped me tremendously with everything from show choir fees to getting a car.
My roommate- I could have had bad luck and got a terrible roommate, but instead I got a roommate who is becoming my best friend. I love her and am so happy I got to meet a girl like her.
The roof over my head- Even though my house back home is tiny, it sure is cozy and warm with our wood stove fire.
My boyfriend Joshua- In the beginning, I thought he was a little too crazy for me, but I love his personality and sense of humor now. He can brighten my dad when I feel like my day will not get any better.
Pancakes!- I LOVE them! They will forever be my favorite food.
The chances I got to travel the country- I have been to almost every state but some on the east coast.
