10:00 I'm thankful for this food. For the stuffing, the green bean casserole, the yams, the rolls.
1:00 I'm thankful for my family, my friends, the gospel.
2:30 I am NOT thankful for food. I'm not thankful for the stuffing, the green bean casserole, the yams, the rolls. I never want to see them again.
3:50 I'm thankful for full-belly-induced naps.
5:00 I'm thankful for Youtube, for Netflix, for Facebook, for Pinterest. I'm thankful my family and I can laugh at the silly movies and memes that we see on these websites. I'm thankful for inside jokes.
7:40 I'm thankful for dishwashers. Even they don't seem sufficient when cleaning up Thanksgiving!
8:30 I'm thankful for my family, my friends, the gospel. But for different reasons. Not because that's what I'm supposed to say, what I'm expected to be grateful for, but because all predictable reasons aside (ie, "they're there for me"), I simply wouldn't know where I belong without them. Not because they make my life better, but because they are my life.
