"Grateful" - Paul Cardall

So like back in June I am making to the goal to blog every day. Except, since this is November, every day I am going to write about something that I am thankful for. I know everyone gets all flustered when people start listening to Christmas music early, I find nothing wrong with that, because they think that we just skip over Thanksgiving. Well I think we can have both!* Thanksgiving is one of my most favorite holidays. It's a time where you get sit around with family and relax from school, jobs, whatever occupies our days. I remember years past of the many, many Bingo games we have played. Maybe that's something that I'll carry on with my family some day.

Today I'm grateful for fall leaves. We were walking to church and the leaves were everywhere. I knew I only had one day to enjoy it because tomorrow the grounds crew will come and suck them away. This is one of the reasons why I love Utah - fall! The leaves are yellow, red, purple, green, orange, pink even! I have a favorite red tree on campus, it sits right next to the sidewalk where everyone walks. Every time I walk past it I can here other people commenting on how gorgeous that tree is. But now it's been destroyed due to some crazy winds we've had. But I am still grateful for the other gorgeous leaves all around campus.

*I'm listening to Christmas music as I blog so there :P
