Hey guys. Well it's that weekend again and I decided I wanted to write something nice, share a few stories to really bring about the spirit of this holiday.

1. I was at my dad's house on saturday and we had a great time. On sunday, Skye was going to come sleep over but we had no room and her mom isn't comfortable with my mom's bf. So, both of us were extremely down. About 15 minutes later, she called back saying that her grandmother, who was having 12 extra people at her house that night, was willing to let me stay the night with her. The kindness that some people share really does amaze me.

2. Another story about kindness, but this one's not mine. At We Day we met a guy named Spencer West who has no bottom half. He was in Kenya building a school and they had to go up this hill, shaking hands with all the community members that were lined up. He was finding it difficult to do that while in the wheelchair. He felt something grab the back of the chair and looked behind him to see a little 6 year old boy who had grabbed on and was pushing him. By the time he reached the top there were 5 boys helping him up that hill.

Now, I wanted to make a list of things I'm thankful for. I'll keep it short at 10 things.

1. I am thankful to have life and to be healthy.

2. I am thankful for my family who is there to shelter me and love me.

3. I am thankful for my friends. I could not be who I am today without them.

4. I am thankful for the church which has helped me to constantly better myself.

5. I am thankful for all the opportunities that I have in life.

6. I am thankful to be able to help others when they need it.

7. I am thankful for having a strong will so I don't fall into things because of other people.

8. I am thankful for having the chance to raise, protect and teach my siblings.

9. I am thankful for my education which has helped me in many aspects of life.

10. I am thankful for this planet and all the people in it, whether they make mistakes or not and the concept of forgiveness.

So I would like to know, what are you thankful for right now? For home and family? For toys and games? I encourage you all to share your thoughts and opinions with me, because the more you express a love, the stronger it grows and the more you can appreciate it.
