The Month of Thanks!

As I was scrolling through my newsfeed this morning while I was still trying to shake off my sleepiness, I noticed a bunch of my friends status updates that were saying things they were thankful for. I soon realized we are already a week into November, which is supposed to be the month of giving thanks. I was trying to rack my brain about what I was thankful for over the last seven days. There were very few things that came to mind at 7am this morning as my alarm was going off after only getting four hours of sleep. Getting into an ice cold shower wasn't much help either. But as I was sitting in my office this morning reading some news articles in a newspaper from my hometown, it hit me how thankful I should be! There was an article about a young boy who had dove into a lake and had hit his neck making him paralyzed from the neck down! He would never be able to use his legs again. Here I am complaining about a cold shower! I wonder how many activities on a daily basis that we all take for granted until one day we are not able to do them anymore? I can't imagine how different my daily routine would be without the use of my legs! So today I am thankful for having the ability to run! What is it that you are thankful for today?!?
