Thankful is an understatement.

The holiday season is well underway and many people will celebrate Thanksgiving on Thursday.  I could write about one of my favorite things in the whole world, food, but I will save that for a later post.  Don't worry, I will take tons of foodie pictures and write all about what we eat at the Rapp Family Thanksgiving...later this week.
 As I reflect back on the past year, I realize that I have so many things to be thankful for.  I know it is totally cliche to be writing about what I'm thankful for on my silly blog, but honestly, all of what I'm saying is 100% true.  From studying abroad in Ireland, traveling around the Emerald Island with my family, having my dream internship, being a Peer Adviser, successfully starting my senior year of college, moving to our new house, running races and doing triathlons, to going to Florida have all made the past year unforgettable......but all of these things wouldn't matter if I was not surrounded by the wonderful people in my life:  my family and friends. And that is what I'm most thankful for this year, and not just during Thanksgiving, but everyday.  My relationships with family and friends is what gets my through each day, making life beautiful and worthwhile. Take the time to tell your family and friends how much they mean to you, because you never know when you will get your last chance to do so. I wish I could tell each and every individual in my life how grateful I am to have them there in person, but I don't know if that's humanly possible.  If you are taking the time to read this post, chances are you are part of my life.  So, if I don't get the chance, thank you, I'm incredibly grateful to have you in my life.
Happy Thanksgiving!
