Already?!

It seems that once the cold weather sets in... time decides to fly. Not that I'm really complaining, because honestly, I don't like the cold weather that much. I'm a cold-natured person, my average temperature is about 96 degrees... I don't need 30 degree weather to add to that! Not to mention I have awful allergies! But once September rolls around... I can't believe its the middle of November! Thanksgiving is just around the corner... almost literally.

Really, I'm just thankful for the fact we're almost half way through the school year.

It's a scary concept, that time can actually "fly". We take moments for advantage, or hold on to the wrong moments in life. We develop these unnecessary emotions over the smallest trifles... But that's what Thanksgiving is all about. We forget the bad things going in our lives, and join with our families to remember the good things.

Personally, I'm thankful for a lot of things. I'm thankful for my mom, who is my role model, and the rest of my family, of course. I'm even thankful for my little sister... who annoys the crap out of me, for the record. I'm thankful for my friends, too, Sarah, Krystal, Briget, Kaitlin, Brienna, Tabby, Bobby, Gray, Nathan... I don't know what I'd do without them. I'm thankful for my teachers who are setting me up for the rest of my life. I'm thankful for all the bad things God has put me through, because without them I wouldn't enjoy the good times I have. I'm thankful for cheerleading for taking so much of my time that I'm never bored. I'm thankful for technology for keeping me connected to people I wouldn't be able to talk to in any other circumstance. I'm thankful for God in general, for always being there, whether I remember that He is or not, and I'm thankful for music, one of the only ways for me to maintain sanity.

I'm still freaking out that the Holidays are right around the corner, along with the crazy shopping involved... But once it's all over, I'll just.... smile because it happened...
