I know that “I’m so thankful for _______” tweets, Facebook statuses and blog posts are a bit cliche, but I actually love reading all of them. It’s kind of refreshing to see so much positivity when I scroll down through my news feed. So I’m jumping on the giving thanks, basic bandwagon with this Thanksgiving post!
A ton has changed since this time last year, namely getting a new job and moving to Florida, but I’m so thankful for all of the opportunities that God has presented me with! I literally get to wake up everyday and go to my dream job – in comfortable Florida temperatures might I add; I’ve met a ton of great people, and I’m continually learning a lot. I have an amazingly supportive, fun and loving network of family and friends…I could go on and on…
This was the first Thanksgiving that I ever recall not being with my family, and while I missed them and our traditional Thanksgiving a lot, it also made me even more appreciative of my “adopted Florida parents.” When I first moved down here, I rented a room from the Bierer family, and even after I’ve moved out, they’ve continued to look out for me. So when they heard that I wasn’t planning to go home for Thanksgiving, they welcomed me to their dinner!
I also am very thankful for Florida weather…hello, Thanksgiving dinner outside by the pool? I think I could get used to that!
Hope everyone’s Thanksgiving was just as enjoyable and delicious! xox
