Every year I like to reflect on what/who I am thankful for and why I am thankful for it/them. Here are my top five items to be thankful for:
My Family
My family has always been close to my heart. I have been blessed to have such a large and close family. Their love and support has helped me along my journey. For this, I am forever thankful to have each and every member as a part of my life.
My Friends
These crazy kids! My friends, especially those individuals throughout the last few years, have kept me sane. Well, as sane as I can be. My friends 
were there when I needed a shoulder to cry on, someone to laugh with, someone to blow off steam by playing pool or ping pong with, and someone to just relax, do homework, and watch a movie with. I am eternally thankful for those who have entered my life these past two years, and those who have stuck around from years before. Thank you all.
My Internship/Job/Education
Let’s start with Swift Kick. This internship has been one of the best experiences I could have ask for. I am thankful for being a part of the family that has been created here, our community (which is you lovely readers), and each member on the team. Everyone has taught me 
something new and valuable that I will hold on to forever. Swift Kick as a whole has helped me express my personality without having to hold back. For this, I am thankful.
Cedar Crest College and Student Affairs in general have both been a blessing. Without Dr. Kenney recommending me this job, and Lisa, Kelly, and Fran for supporting me throughout the transition of entering this position a few months into the school year, I don’t believe I could have done it. I am thankful for my Cedar Crest team and Dr. Kenney for every opportunity they brought me this year so far!
My Community
You. The Swift Kickers that we all adore. I am thankful for each and every one of you who take the time to follow us, read our blogs, and just support our company as a whole. I would not have this internship if you all were not around. You are our online family that we all adore here at Swift Kick. Because of your support, I am thankful to have all of you in my life and as a part of this community.
My Life
I am 100% thankful for how my life turned out and all of the opportunities I have had in the 23 years I have walked this “Earth. Just waking up every day and breathing is a blessing within itself.
Challenge Time
I want to take this time to send a challenge out to you, our lovely readers. Take the day today to reflect on what you are thankful for. I know it is Black Friday, but I am positive you can spare 10 minutes.
Well, that’s it, everyone! Those are my top 5 things I am thankful for.
Until next time, have a great day!
