What I’m Thankful For

With all the business and craziness in my life right now, it’s nice to be in the season of Thanksgiving. A time of year where we can all slow down and take a look at the things that make life worth living. Although life has been a little wild recently, I’m very happy with everything I have. Overall life has been good and I have a lot to be thankful for this year.

Per usual, I’m very thankful for my friends and family. I have so many great people in my life that help me through my hard times and are always there to support me. The people I have in my life have improved it so much, I don’t know where I’d be without them. Along with my friends and family, I’m also thankful for Praxis and the influence it’s had so far. As someone who panicked to figure out what I was going to do with my life and the direction I was going to take, Praxis felt like a superhero that swooped in and showed me exactly what I was looking for. As a huge advocate for alternative education, Praxis has helped me fuel my ideas and given me hope for a great future. There’s many small things I’m thankful for this year, everything from my job to my pets. Everything I have has helped me through life in some way. Remember to count your blessings and find thankfulness in what you’ve been given, because life is beautiful and the biggest thing we should all be thankful for is that we get to participate in it.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
