Today for all my American readers, its thanksgiving. I don’t celebrate but it hasn’t stopped me from being thankful. So here are 10 things I’m thankful for 2017.
I wish we did celebrate it over here in the UK, I mean we already go crazy for black Friday. So I think it only natural we would say thanks the day before we go shopping crazy.
I think so often we forget to say thank you, or even a cheers. When someone doesn’t something nice, or gestures out of the corner of their heart; we can’t help but think there a hidden motive behind it. So we don’t tend to say thank you. Well, I always say thank you as I was brought up to be a polite girl, but some other people aren’t like that.
But you have to wonder why is saying thank you so important? I like to think It not just common politeness, but also a kind acknowledgement of a gesture when someone says kind words or hand you something.
So I do like the idea of Thanksgiving as it gives you that one day to say thank you to the universe, or to anyone that is close to you. I like to think everyone sits around a table and raise a toast and cheers for a great (or not so great) year.
This has inspired me to create my own thankful list. Cause I will be raising my own toast today and saying cheers to the universe for another great year.
Here are 10 things I’m thankful for 2017:
- An awesome husband who let me be me. Who laugh at my quirks, my stupidity and my general rubbish humour. I can just be myself around him and not worry what he thinks.
- The complete freedom to do anything I want.
- And also the complete freedom to go anywhere I want. Especially having the opportunity to travel.
- Be my own person. I can wear what I like and eat what I want.
- Having my own place and calling it home. (It a very messy home at the moment as I need to do some housework!)
- To meet people from all walks of life through writing on here.
- To travel and to document what I see, through my camera.
- Learning the skills of photography.
- Working from home and not worry about commuting on a daily basis.
- To have my health and the ability to keep on going.
That was my list of the 10 things I’m thanksful for 2017. So I have to ask you all, what are you thankful most this year? Please tell me in the comments as I would love to hear from you.
Thanks for the reminder. I do think gratitude is a powerful thing. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving day.
Love it! It’s so much to be thankful for! You make me want to create a list as well. It’s an awesome feeling to sit back and realize you are blessed. Awesome post!

Great reasons to be thankful! Sometimes we can easily take for granted our ability to travel and experience the world!
I’m happy to hear that you have so much to be thankful for. I’m sure you could create your own Thanksgiving celebration if you wanted to! We came up with our own version in Canada that we celebrate in October. Everything starts somewhere 😉. You may very well start a new UK trend! Wishing you a wonderful day!
amazing Anna 😀 thank you for inspiring me andthis reminds me to look back on the blessings that I already have in my life but I neglected to appreciate. God bless you more 🙂
Great little post! It is always nice to celebrate Thanksgiving and take stock of what we are grateful for. In Canada, we have our Thanksgiving in October but we also have caught onto the madness of black Friday. haha. Oh consumerism.
Such a lovely list! Thank you for inspiring us to be thankful for things in our lives, even if they are small! 🙂
What a lovely post 🙂 It’s so easy to take things for granted. I’m grateful that my kids are healthy and that we live in a society where we have a health service and a police service to support us when we need it. I’m grateful for my home and my family and my friends xxx
Very honest and nice post! It’s always nice to have this one moment to recapture what one is thankful of. Like it, a lot!
It’s so great to have a spouse that let’s U be U warts and all. Being married or having a long-term significant other in our lives is supposed to provide a safe place, support, and love. That is definitely a a list topper. We can all benefit by showing gratitude and appreciation for family, neighbors, co-workers, and friends who are also kind and giving.
Nice things to be thankful about! I am from India and we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving either, but doesn’t mean we can’t be thankful for all the good things we have in life. Your post is a very positive reminder to count our blessings. Thanks for sharing.
