Thanksgiving

As Thanksgiving approaches, I am thinking of all the things for which I am thankful.  I have compiled a list.

• God
• Family
• The absolutely wonderful friends I have here at Wheaton
• Cello 
• Wheaton College
• Wheaton College Symphony Orchestra
• The fact that we are playing Shostakovich’s Festive Overture for Christmas in orchestra.
• The fact that I get to go home for Thanksgiving!
• The fact that I get to come back to my beloved Wheaton after Thanksgiving (can I go without these people for five whole days?)
• All the things I usually overlook, such as food, warm clothing, a place to sleep at night, feeling safe and loved
• Did I mention the wonderful friends yet?  They keep coming to mind.  It is such a beautiful thing to live in a community that understands and values me, and to get to play music with such talented and fantastic people every day!
• All the great things to come

I hope you like my list.  Compile your own list of blessings.  See what great things you can be thankful for this year!  Happy Thanksgiving!
