The Joys Of Being Thankful

Decent Essays
There is always something to be thankful for, a parent, sister ,brother whoever it is we all are grateful for someone. After we come home from a long day some people don’t really think about why we are thankful! We may take advantage of these people or things and we never really stop to think about them. Sometimes we need to stop moving so fast and smell the roses. I am very grateful for my sister, no words could explain how grateful and thankful I am but I am going to try my hardest to make sure she knows how much I love her.

Thankful. Thankful can mean many things, and for many people you may have someone that you are thankful for it's always hard to chose. But if I had to think of someone of the top of my head it would be my sister.

    If my mom and dad would have never split up, my mom never would have met my step dad, who showed me that a man could love and care for a child as his own even if they aren’t blood. He spent time with me, bought me nice clothes and toys, and basically spoiled me my entire childhood. He always believed in me, and pushed me beyond my limits, because he saw potential in me. I do not think any less of him because he isn 't my real dad. Another reason I 'm thankful for the way I was raised, is that the home I spent most of my time at led me to believe that everything in life is easy and everyone can have nice possessions and go on fancy vacations, but I learned that was not the case.…
