HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
I know, I know, Thanksgiving has already past… but that is no reason to stop being thankful! I think that the whole month of November we should give thanks for all that we have been given, not just on one day… And the whole year as well…
Anyways, I only have about 1 1/5 more weeks here left in Rome and it has got me thinking about all of the things I am thankful for here….
So here is my list of just some of the things I am thankful for here in Rome.
1. I am thankful for being given the chance to let the world open my eyes and give me a different perspective on life.
2. I am thankful for new friends and relationships that will last a lifetime.
3. I am thankful for getting to learn so many new things everyday.
4. I am thankful for this wonderful creation that God has made, and that we get the pleasure of living in everyday.
5. I am thankful for my family for letting me have this experience of studying abroad.
6. I am thankful for my friends back home who have kept me grounded and talked me through situations where only my true best friends from home could get me through.
7. I am thankful for ROME! It is wonderful and beautiful and such a great place to be.
8. I am thankful for the gift of travel and seeing new places.
9. I am thankful for my BOMB-ASS AIFS family. You all are seriously the best people I have gotten the chance to meet and spend a semester with. I would never ask for anybody else! You have made my experience so much better than I ever thought possible!
10. I am thankful for Jesus for guiding me and blessing me with people in my life, places I can travel too, and experiences that change me and make me a better person.
I have so much to be thankful for and being here, with new people and away from my family has made me realize this even more! I can not put into words how much joy and happiness I have found here in Rome and how much anticipation and excitement I have to see my friends and family back home.
So many blessings to be thankful for. Keep these in mind, my friends, cause we are lucky, and we only have this one life to realize this.
Stay beautiful,
