Yes, I am going to be one of those people. I know we should all reflect about what we are thankful for throughout the year but November seems to bring that out in people with Thanksgiving just around the corner. I am not going to make every blog this month about what I am thankful for but am going to try to make a handful of them.
Today I am thankful for our house. Well, our condo/apartment. I am truely thankful that as a newly wed couple my husband and I are able to live on our own fairly comfortably. I know many are not so lucky with the current state of the economy. While I love my family I am glad we do not have to live with them. I know this would put undue stress on all relationships involved. It is nice to visit my family when I have the time but to be the independent adult that I want to be.
I have a special soft spot for the homeless. I can not imagine what it is like to not have a place to call home and it saddens me to see people on the side of the road, cold and hungry. It does not matter to me how they got there, I feel bad for them and always wish I could help. On Thursday I am going with a campus group to feed lunch to some homeless around our Detroit campus. I hope it will be a fullfilling experience and make me more thankful for all I have in my life.
