Gracias

Does anyone else think it's pretty fitting that Thanksgiving is on 10.10.10? I know that a ton of people were trying to get married tomorrow because it's so special to say that you got married on October 10, 2010; in all honesty, I think it's just an excuse for the husband to not have to try hard to remember their wedding date.

This year, I am grateful for many things. First and foremost, the one that is obvious, would have to be starting Bible school. Whether I fail miserably or pass with flying colors, it's pretty sweet to say that I made it. Then, I'm thankful for being able to come back to Edmonton for this long weekend. It's so comforting and refreshing to see the people and places that I know. It's pretty cool how in just two visits to the church that some people went out of their way just to say hi to me when they saw. I think I also might have shafted a few people by not really replying to their hi because I was in another conversion or whatever.

I am grateful for hockey being back, and how exciting it is to watch the Oilers. I am grateful for the different experience of being an Oilers fan now that I live in Calgary. I am grateful for being grateful.

My back hasn't been good since the California trip, so now I am very thankful for the parts of my body that work - which is pretty much all of it. I'm thankful for good health; although for some reason, I have a slight cough at this second because some of that white chocolate mocha is stuck in my throat. I am thankful for the water that I will drink right now that may help me get rid of this cough.

As you can see, I am thankful for my entire life. Living a life of gratitude makes someone super cool to be around because they never take anything for granted. They're always able to be humble and put the world before themselves because we reside in this world.

Live high, and always be grateful.
