My biggest pet peeve about November is all of the people that come out of the woodworks to express their thanks. Now don't get me wrong, I have participated in this before, but have since stopped. Instead, I make it a point to express my gratitude for the life I have in other ways.

I will be the first to admit that I am horrible at expressing myself and letting my true emotions show. That is something that I am working on. I want the people who make my life complete to know so, not because I write it for all to see on Facebook, but on a more personal level. I want to show how thankful I am for my family through our daily interactions.

I have so much in this life to be thankful for. My goal from now on is to show that through my attitude instead of words.
