Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies..It wasn’t until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that president Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving day on November. For more than two centuries, days of Thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. Thanksgiving is the time to be with your family and appreciate the things you have.

Personally I am thankful for many things. Sometimes it may not seem like it but I appreciate everything I have. One of the many things I am thankful for is having good health. I may not be the ‘’healthiest’’ person but I have good health. I’m also thankful for having the best family. My family sometimes manages to get me what I want, but always makes sure I have what I need. I’m thankful for having a roof over my head. I’m thankful for having another plate with food on my table. I’m also thankful for having supportive, funny, encouraging, loving friends by my side.
