What are you thankful for?

Thanksgiving is always an exciting time of year, in my opinion. The leaves change colors, pumpkin candles are in the stores, and, of course, it is an excuse to eat excessive amounts of delicious food! Each year my immediate and extended family get together for a full day of fried turkey, tons of desserts, board games, and the beginning of Christmas decorating.

When writing this post I realized I truly have so much to be thankful for, but I will try to keep it short. First, I am thankful for my family because they are the ones who have stood by me for 23 years and never let me give up. They are also the ones that have given me my don’t quit outlook on life and taught me that anything is possible through God. Second, I am thankful for my boyfriend Paul.  He keeps me grounded and makes me feel comfortable just being myself.  He is truly my biggest fan and encourages me to pursue my dreams, no matter what they may be. Third, I am thankful for the many friends that God has placed in my life. I am so lucky to have met so many amazing people in the past 23 years. Fourth, I am thankful for CrossFit Boro, the awesome coaches, and members. Because of all of these people I am a healthier and happier individual. Last, I am thankful that I am only seven credit hours away from graduating from Georgia Southern University. I am anxious to start a new chapter in my life. . . wherever that may be!
