It's the Most Thankful Time of the Year

Greetings everyone and welcome to a freezing Thanksgiving week here at The Magical Mystery Blog.

During this time of the year, everyone is thankful for something. Whether it’s as large as a life changing event or as small as an ipod, everyone is grateful for something(s) on Thanksgiving. In some families, people go around the table, claiming what they are thankful for and why. As for me, I’m sharing what I’m grateful for this Thanksgiving because I’ll be too busy devouring turkey, biscuits, and other Thanksgiving delicacies.

GET IN MY BELLY!

Below are the top three things I’m most thankful for this Thanksgiving.

3) My Job

Being a casino worker has its ups and downs, but there's a good advantage to my job. Without my job, I would probably be stuck in the throes of poverty. It’s not my dream job but it’s something I have while I’m searching for something in my field. Plus, without this job I wouldn't have managed to complete two of the items on my bucket list: meet Dan Aykroyd and get a crystal skull.

2) Life

I am a person who loves a good challenge because I like to see how it affects me and what it can do for me. What better challenge is there, than the challenge of life? Life is an ultimate challenge of survival, struggle, adaptation, and discovery. It’s a game that can only be beaten if you live it to its full extent by surviving, struggling to find victory, adapting to yourself as you change with time, society, and your environment, and discovering who you are, what you’re supposed to do in life, and all the wonders the world has to offer.

1) The Small Things

I've always been told through movies and others that the best way to appreciate life is through the small things. The small things are the ladybug on the flower, the view of the sunlight touching the water, the last cookie in the jar, and tons of other things that make up the big picture of life. It’s the small things that make me smile, especially when the challenge of life is just too rough. Sometimes even the darkest moments can be eliminated with a nice walk on the beach or a little piece of candy. I never abandon the small things but rather embrace them, so that I can understand life better, and appreciate it just a little more.
