Friendship: Being Thankful

We got our first real snow in Chicago last night, and the temperatures have dropped dramatically. So right now I’m curled up with a blanket drinking hot chocolate while writing this blog post, trying to ignore my Calc notes which I should be studying for tomorrow. But that’s okay. I’ll procrastinate a little bit. ;)

While browsing Pinterest the other day, I found a pin with a quote that I really liked (I also thought the penguins were pretty cute too).

Now that I’m a senior, I now know who my real friends are. They’re the ones who have stayed by me at my best and at my worst. They are not only my best friends from school, but also my family. My Mom especially has done more for me than anyone, the person who has always rooted for me no matter how many mistakes I make.

So often times, people take the most important people in their lives for granted. I’m now realizing how much I have taken those close to me for granted over the years. That’s where this upcoming Holiday season fits in. So when you gather around during the Holidays with your family and friends, remember how much of a gift they are to you. And that their friendship is the best gift of all.

So this Holiday season,

Be thankful. Be loving. Be true.
