With another year quickly winding down to an end with the temperatures changing, all kinds of wonderful foods being baked in the kitchen, festive decorations being placed and endless lines at the shopping malls...What do you have to be thankful for?

I am not trying to make this an "end of the year" blog which I am sure is coming later. This last week, we as Americans celebrated the Thanksgiving holiday. As this holiday is not celebrated by all countries, we as Americans joined with our friends and families and reflected our thankfulness for ourselves, our country and many more things.

So far, this year has been an incredible one for me. It has brought many different eye-opening experiences for me as I am sure that it has for you as well. For instance, I have learned a lot about how governments work, what I believe in politically, how to treat certain situations and as always...I get more and more tech savvy each day.

For me, the thing in which I am probably most thankful for is the opportunity to be an individual. To be able to learn, think and act unique from anyone else. The best gift of all is human life. Our life is a canvas, and we are the painter. We have the opportunity to paint whatever we desire. All that matters is what we think and believe to be "art."

What are you most thankful for at this wonderful time of year? What has this year taught you?
