Today's a pretty important day--and not just because it's the reason Katie's been off school all week. Today's Thanksgiving! It's a day for, well, being thankful! And if Katie's taking a break from celebrating Christmas and writing her research paper(s), then it must be an important day.
I know it can seem like everything's going wrong right now, and the country's experiencing some big, scary changes, and it still hasn't rained in forever, but I just wanted to remind you that there's so much to be thankful for!
Like, for me, I'm thankful that Katie and her friends found me in the trashcan. I got a new life with them, and it's been awesome! And I'm thankful that her friends are now my friends. I'm thankful that we laugh whenever we're together, and I'm thankful for all the pictures we take together, because they'll be forever reminders of our fun memories. I'm thankful that I have plenty of shirts to wear so that I'm never cold, and I'm thankful I get to write this blog to you every once in a while. I'm thankful for my roommates (the animal ones and the human ones). I'm thankful that even when I get sick sometimes I have medicine to help me get better and friends to help take care of me. I'm thankful that Katie shares her bed with me at night and that she lets me come home with her on vacations. I'm thankful that we can watch the MAcy's parade together and sneak bites of food off the kitchen table. And hugs. I'm really thankful for hugs.
I know that some of those things seem silly to you, but I'm lucky enough to be a bear without a lot of responsibilities, I don't have homework or real work or families to take care of or friends who are in the hospital or loved ones who have died. But that also means that I don't have any of the good things that come with those things--and you do! So I bet you have a LOT to be thankful for today. And everyone who knows you has something to be thankful for, too: YOU!
So, in honor of Thanksgiving, I want to share some of the things I've been most thankful for this year (but there so many more!)
 |
| I went to my first prom in April, and it was so much fun! I met all these great girls and their handsome dates, and we took so many pictures! |
 |
| I also went to my first formal in April, and that's where I met Fancy Boy. We're basically best friends now, so I'm thankful that I got to meet him that day! |
 |
| This is from the day that Katie and I saw "Captain America:Civil War." Even though we were on different sides, I'm glad we could share this day together. (PS #TeamIronMan !!) |
 |
| Even though I was sick this day, it was fun because I got to spend it with Katie in The Chanticleer office! (And I got new unicorn pajamas!) |
 |
| This is one of my favorite pictures because it has all of my stuffed friends in it! I have some really great friends, with and without opposable thumbs, and that's probably what I'm most thankful for this Thanksgiving. What about you? |
So, what are you all thankful for today? I know there's probably a lot!
