What are you thankful for?
Every year my family gets together for Thanksgiving. My mom, stepdad, brother,uncle, aunts, cousins, and my parents friends all come over. My mom wakes up early that day, cleans the house till you can eat off the floor and see your reflection in the refrigerators. Around ten she starts making.food that didn't need to be started the night before. At three o'clock everyone starts to roll in ready to eat as if they were fasting for days. As my mom was putting the final touches on the table everyone took their place at the table. Everything on the table looked so good as if i was looking at a Martha Stewart magazine. My mom's cooking is always on point. When everyone was ready we all held hands as my Grams prayed. After we all said amen, we all went around the table and said what we were thankful for. When it got to my i paused, i had so much to be thankful for i didn't know where.to start. I was thankful for my stepdad surviving cancer, my brother even though we fight, my mom because she is always there. But then i paused and thought it amazes me that it takes a holiday and food to get families together to be thankful for what they have. People should be thankful everyday, that they have woken up and have one more day to accomplish any dream or goal. Giving thanks shouldn’t be dedicated to one day out of the year it should be everyday. I am thankful for all the obstacles I have overcome and the people who were there for me when I needed them most.
