78 Things You Probably Forget To Be Thankful For

I know, I know: Thanksgiving is still a couple of weeks away. But if I’ve learned anything in my long (and short) 21 years on this earth, you have to be thankful for things all the time, not just when we’re all sitting around the table, stuffing our faces with turkey, and mumbling about things we’re grateful for. If your family is like mine, you go around the table and list things that we’re thankful for; and if you’re anything like me, you’re probably stressing about what to say already.
