To Be Thankful For Many Things

Being thankful for what you already posses is essential for living a happy life, as it is healthy to focus on the things you already have and to not focus on the things others have. In the story “Marigolds” by Eugenia W. Collier and the story “The Monkey’s Paw” by W.W. Jacobs, both authors gives examples as to why it is important to be thankful for what you already have, and to not dwell on what others might have that you don't.

This is the most important reason because everybody including Gabriel should be thankful that they live in a house and not on the streets. However, Gabriel doesn’t have much but he lives in a building and should be thankful for that. According to the text, Gabriel didn’t like the building he lived in, he wanted to live outside all the time. This shows that Gabriel is not thankful that he lives in a building that is still standing. In my life I am thankful for my house and Gabriel should be too. Too add on, I have a roof over my head and that is the most important thing that I can have. The author wrote,”Gabriel imagined himself carrying a pack of food and a few tools and heavy cloth to erect a hasty tent.” This shows that Gabriel would rather live outside than in the building he lives in. I am thankful I live in a house instead of the streets. This proves, Gabriel is as thankful as a poor person. This also proves that you should be thankful for what you

Far too often in our selfish-minded culture, we forget to be thankful for the many blessings we have. There is a roof over my head, clothes on my back, food on the table, and I've never gone hungry. I'm thankful that I am homeschooled; I do not have to deal with bullies at school and I am able to have a more flexible schedule so that I have an increased amount of free time to spend with family. I am also thankful for my little sister and my parents who care for me and work hard to provide me with everything I need and want. In addition, I feel grateful for my artistic and musical talent. However, most of all, I am deeply grateful for my entire family, the warmth, love, and companionship they bring, and my relationship with

There are many things in life that you need to appreciate, even the smallest things. For example, “He could not at first leave the fire. It was so precious to him…” (novel chapter 10). In life, you need to appreciate what you have even if it is nothing, appreciate that you are alive.

Thanksgiving Holiday means so much to me. I love to celebrate that extended weekend with my family. On the eve of the big day, my cousins and I meet at an elder’s house and then the festivities began. This shared feast started in 1621 with the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians sharing a harvest feast ("Thanksgiving," 2016). A portion of the food can be prepared the day before. We decide who would handle what task and when it time clean up the second generation, always try to make the third generation do it. We then continue to cook and clean and reminisce of our past year. Sometimes we would bring up our childhood pranks and stories of family members that passed and present. On the day of Thanksgiving we finish cooking,

This month’s quote is “There is always, always, always something to be thankful for.” -Oprah Winfrey.

It might not seem like a big deal but it is because some little boy or girl across the world is starving and thirsty and you just got something that they will never have. You might be worried about what shoes you just got but they are worried about if they are still

September 11, 2001 was a very traumatic day. After watching Flight 93, I realized that there are so many things in this world to be thankful for. We never know when the last time you see someone, really is going to be the last time. Death is unexpected and it’s crazy how fast something can be taken from us.

Every day as soon as I put my feet on the floor I recite my gratitude’s. I recite “I am truly grateful for _______ because______” finishing with a thank you. I do this every morning since I got the book “Magic from Rhonda Byrne”. Also, when I go for my walks or driving in my car I love reciting my blessings and not forgetting the thank yours. It makes me feel appreciate it for the little things I have.

My family did not have that much money when I was growing up. My family still doesn’t have a lot of money currently, but we are in a better position than before still. When I was little there were always things that other people had that I didn’t have. I wasn’t really jealous like lots of other kids would be, but like everyone of course I would want to have some nice things of my own too. I grew up with a really slow and old computer, which I just recently replaced this summer after I built my own computer. The event that helped me learn to always be thankful is actually two years long: middle school. I did not have a phone when most of the other kids did in middle school. All the kids would be using their phones chatting or playing

While growing up my priorities have changed, over the years I have gained maturity and a new way of thinking. Obviously, when you’re young you don’t really have that mentality of being grateful for the clothing on your back, and the roof over your head. Now that I am older I have realized the importance of staying humble, and being thankful for things I have. My family, my girlfriend, and the life that I have are some of the things I will forever be thankful for. I may not have much, but like the platinum hip-hop artist J.Cole said “compared to some of the people down the block we were blessed.”

Likewise, I remain thankful for my family. My parents take care of me and award me with gifts. As well as my parents, I’m also thankful to have siblings. They help me when I need their help. Additionally, my grandparents care for me and send me snacks and treats.
