This year as I spent time with my family, laughed at the stories and enjoyed an amazing meal, I also reflected on what I am thankful for. Sometimes life gets hard and it's easy to forget about the good things we have. I will admit that I expect too much from people at times and have a hard time accepting the ones I love for who they are. But this afternoon I looked around me and I couldn't help but feeling both proud, and lucky, to have the family that I have been blessed with. Also, I realized that it's okay for us to be different and that I don't need to understand everything about everyone. My family is full of people with amazing hearts, who will do anything for anyone, and truly care about each other. We may live in different parts of the world, have different personalities and live different lifestyles, but when push comes to shove we love each other something fierce and stick by one another.
I am thankful for having a family that truly cares. We might be a little loud (myself included), some are stubborn (once again, including myself), and we can let life get the better of us at times. I go years at a time not seeing my parents, months at a time not seeing my sister, and even months at a time not seeing cousins who are a drive away. But one thing is for sure - no matter what, my family is, and always will be, "there" for each other. They are who I am thankful for.
