Sweet November

In honor of Thanksgiving, I did not want to limit myself to one day.  So, I started a tradition last year that helped me become a more appreciative person.  For every day in the month of November, I would think in my life, either major or frivolous, that I am thankful for.  This will be edited daily, or as often as I have time, for the sake of the list.

Today, I am thankful to my family and friends.  The very few and special ones in my life who never hesitate to call me out on my shit.  Y'all tell me when I'm being dumb, unreasonable, and petty.  Most importantly, whenever I have felt defeated, you remind me that there is nothing in this world I can not do.
