Thanksgiving is fastly approaching and it is time to reflect upon all the things that I'm grateful for. However, we should always be Grateful not just one time a year. I'm always so very thankful for my many blessings but it seems like Thanksgiving makes me reflect upon them more.  I always like to make a list of what I'm grateful for each year so that I can reflect back on it the following year. Here is who and what I'm grateful for.
