Having Thanks all the Time.

Yes it is, Thanksgiving day! I hope everyone is enjoying it, sometimes it can be hard to enjoy a holiday. We miss loved ones, don't get along with others, and it is hard to forget our worries and put that beautiful smile on our face. But we make ourselves go; talk story, tell them that everything is fine, and eat the big meal. This is usually what happened when I was younger but families grow closer as we grow older. Each individual member of the family grows a little bit closer in the year that goes by. We grow closer because we go through heartache, health crisis, break-ups, fights, birthdays, ect. It gets better, it gets easier to open up. We will always be honest, at least we think we will be. But we try and that is all that matters. I am very thankful for my family. They have been very supportive through my diagnosis and massive change in my life. My friends too! I have made new friends in college and they have also been supportive and accepting of me and my weird qualities. My friends that I have had for what seems like forever have been here for me through thick and thin. I love them all so much. And I can't forget to mention my high school teachers and my college professors. They have also helped me out and have had patience and understanding with everything that has been going on with me. I can't imagine not having them to talk to when I am feeling overwhelmed and stressed with school and non-school things. I would also like to thank everyone else in my life that have been there for me through all of my crazy problems. Lastly, I would like to mention that I am thankful for all of the medical devices that have helped me and everyone get diagnosed to live a longer and fuller life.
