November Thanks

There is a lot I need to be thankful for.  I am thankful to God for giving me life and bringing happiness into my teenage life.  Mom and Dad are thankful to God, too, because He has blessed them with a kind and loving daughter.  I am thankful to be my parents because they give me food and shelter, drive me where I need to go, come support me and give me something I want.  At school, I am thankful to my teachers and my peers.  They can be a nuisance at times, but I need to know they want to help.

I should also be to my 18 year old sister Meg.  We may have our differences, but I know she really cares about me.  When I am at home, I am eternally grateful to my beloved puppy Scooter because he likes to play and sleep with me.  In my life, I am also thankful to my enormous and loving family, even my two widowed grandmothers.  One of my grandmothers lives in a condominium in Carroll, while the other lives in Beatrice, Nebraska.  I should be grateful because they treat me tenderly and know what is best for me, like my parents.

Finally, I am especially grateful for my uniqueness and my talents.  God has made me a very special young lady.  I have been very good at being kind and helpful to other people, and also playing the piano.  And that makes other people happy and love me in return.
