I know there are people out there with their own versions of things they are thankful for, but I hardly ever write a journal entry...and this year I have been thinking a lot more, thus there are more things I realize I'm thankful for.

First and foremost, I'm thankful for my parents, without them I wouldn't have been born (obviously), but more than that, they have raised me to be the person I am today. They both have the patience of saints, if they didn't, I'd be living on the streets right now, or some other place...either way, it wouldn't be good.

I'm thankful for the experiences in my life, both good and bad, for they have helped to hammer out and further shape who I am.

For the friends both old and new, all have helped to guide me through this life where I was unable to talk to my parents for advice.

I am extremely thankful for one friend in particular, whom now that I know them, I can't imagine a life without them. They know who they are, my dear, dear friend.

...I'll amend this tomorrow when I'm not so exhausted from work.
