30 Things To Be Thankful For

OKEMOS, Mich., – Halloween is behind us and the holiday season is quickly approaching. Thanksgiving is just few short weeks away and it's time to start thinking about what types of delicious food you'll be eating with your loved ones. But instead of stressing out about holiday plans and family meals, we think now is a perfect time to think about the things we appreciate, things that might go unnoticed sometimes. We've come up with 30 things to be thankful for, one for each day of November!

1. Good health - if you've got it, take advantage of it. Not everyone does.
2. A roof over your head - big or small, a place to call home is something to be thankful for.
3. Family - crazy or not, they've got your back.
4. Friends - who else are you going to complain to and do dumb things with?
5. Money in the bank - even if it's just $1, that's more than most.
6. Pets, or animals in general - affection from furry friends is one of life's greatest gifts!
7. Food to eat - knowing where your next meal is going to come from is a huge blessing.
8. A job - whether you hate it or love it, money to pay the bills is important.
9. Clothes to wear - trendy or not, at least they're clean.
10. Coffee - just coffee.
11. Music - listening to it, making it, whatever you're in to!
12. Sports teams - we need someone to cheer on or hate on, right?
13. Warmth - electricity and the ability to take warm showers are something we take for granted.
14. Laughter - the best medicine!
15. Your sanity - fleeting or not.
16. Service workers - waiters, bus drivers, postal service workers, all people we should thank regularly.
17. The ability to communicate - whether it's a phone call, an email, or snail mail, not everyone is capable of communicating with loved ones regularly.
18. Hugs - hugs are just nice.
19. Your freedom - being allowed to do what makes you happy isn't something that's possible for everyone.
20. Books - or movies, or tv shows, entertainment in general.
21. Sunshine - or clouds, or rain, whatever makes you happy!
22. Comfortable shoes - and shoes that fit!
23. Transportation - car, bus, train, or plane, getting where you need to go is a luxury for some.
24. Being appreciated - at work, or at home, hearing someone say thanks is always nice.
25. Partners - boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse, or best friend, having someone to lean on is something to be thankful for.
26. Chocolate - or your favorite sugary snack.
27. Kind neighbors - no matter how small of a role they play in your life, they could always be worse!
28. Water - it's easy to forget that clean water is inaccessible to many.
29. Challenges - to remind you what it's like to overcome them.
30. Yourself! - There is no other you, and that's something to celebrate.
