As most of us know, November is the month we celebrate Thanksgiving across the country. Yes, the food is amazing, but its important to understand why we celebrate and to remember what you are thankful for not only on Thanksgiving, but every day. Our Thanksgiving is the American celebration of the first harvest or "First Thanksgiving" in October 1621 in the New World that was celebrated with a few days of prayer for blessings and by feasting. Today, we honor one day to remember this and our own blessings while we feast as well!
While I am extremely thankful and count my blessings all year long, theres just something about the fall and November in particular that make me feel extra grateful! On today's post, I thought in honor of Thanksgiving, I will share a list of some of the things I am most grateful for and that remind me how blessed I truly am!
